‘. T 3. meeting called'in Washing-
ton, February .5, by the Chief of
the Dairy Division, United
States Department .01 Agriculture,
representatives of ﬁve dairy cattle
breeders association's agreed to make
special efforts to suppress destructive
rivalry and to work together in every
way possible to develop the dairy in-
dustry and particularly the purebred
dairy cattle. business. The breeds
were the ‘ Ayrshire,
slrown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein
Friesian, and Jersey. More than'20
representatives were here from vari-
ous-parts oi the country, including
the presidents of four of the breed
gssociatlons and the secretaries of all

ve. . '

Resolutions passed at the confer-.
ence called attention to the need for
more widespread testing for produc-
tion records among breeders of pure-
bred cattle; means oi causing a wid-
er distribution of purebred cattle:
the recognition in counties ' and
states of superior sires; rules gov-
erning sales of purebred cattle;
means of lowering the cost of record-
ing animals in herd books; supervis-
ion of production records; means of
making the showing of cattle at fairs
more educational to farmers and
other visitors; rules governing public
sales; scope of the work of ﬁeld rep-
resentatives of breed associations;
and other subjects concerning the
conduct of breed associations and
the furthering of the interests of
purebred dairy cattle. The need of
more support for tuberculosis eradi-
cation by the area method was also
emphasized.

VERY important directors meet-
ing of the Michigan Sugar Beet
Growers Association was held
February 23rd in Owosso at the
Hotel Wildurmuth. The meeting
was called to order by President Tom

C.‘ Price of Saginaw.
A sworn itimized ﬁnancial report
was presented by General Manager

0.. E. Ackerman in which it was '»

shown that $2,992.90 came into his
hands from the 113 local organiza—
tions in the state. The balance,
$1,156.72 after all bills were paid.
handled directly by him, was turned
over to Sec’y—Treas. R. P. Reavey oi
Caro, Michigan. A great many loc-
als sent their money direct to Sec’y—
Treas. ‘Reavey which is not included
in the above ﬁgures. A complete re-
port will be made in Saginaw to the
Growers at their annual meeting
which will be called by President
Price in the very near iutune. The

‘ recorded membership of the organiz-

ation is around 10,000 members.
Membership fees were $100.00 each
one—half of which was to be paid the
state organization. Many / locals
have not as yet remitted their share
and on this account the organization
is hampered somewhat.

The new ,50-50 contract was m-
dorsed unaminously by the directors
of the organization and a resolution,
was passed in which all growers of
beets were urged to give the Owosso
Sugar Company their acreage for
beets on one of their contracts, for
beets enough to give them a full ca-
pacity run this year. Being. the first

and farmers can expect real
7 competition from Argentina in
the next few years, in the opinion of
A. M. McKinstry, vice-president of
the International Harvester 00., who
has completed an extensive tour of
this country and Brazil.

He said he found an increasing de—
mand for North American agricultur-
al machinery in Argentina and felt
that, aside from the low ebb in the
livestock industry, the farmers here
were in as good condition as those in
the United States.

“I never saw such splendid Short—
horn cattle," said Mr. McKinstry,
discussing his trips to the big Argen-
tinn ranches. “They mean that SOCk
miners in the United States have
serious competition. The same is
true of the grain that they raise
here. The soil in the grain country

 

is slmilinr to that of Iowa, and the “

crops are immense. ‘ Argentina is

developing some splendid farmers. '

They are coming along rapidly in
adopting the most upvto-date tarm-
ing methods. ‘ r

“The Argentina corn croy has been
quite seriously hurt by the intense
heat this summer, and the 'wheat'
crop will fall short of early spredio-i

, TAKING FARMERS OR TAKING
_ INCOMES
ICHIGAN farmers and ‘ wage

earners recently helped to de-

feat an income tax. They are
coming to see that they should not
have defeated it; sometime they will
correct their mistake, and Michigan
will have an income tax that will ex-
empt such incomes as those of wage
earners and farmers.

'A tax on gasoline is now preposed,
and some farmers and some wage
earners are supporting it. The pro-
posal should be considered a bit care-
fully. To put ,a tax on gasoline
might be making another mistake

that would have to be corrected. —

Taxing gasoline was a real issue in
Nebraska lately. Farmers and wage
earners there gave unusual attention
to it, and they defeated the tax.
There are three chief sources of
mechanical power: steam, electric-
ity and gasoline. Steam and elec-
tricity give power for railroads, fac—

tories and big business generally.’

the farm
Big

Gasoline is the fuel of
engine, the tractor, the truck.

, business almost entirely escapes a
‘ gasoline '

tax. Michigan’s power
dams would escape it. Railroads
would have no gasoline tax to pay.
On the contrary the truck would be
taxed, and the truck is the railroad’s
chief competitor, the railroads
have good reason for supporting a
gasoline tax: it would tend to free
the railroads from taxation and to
keep trucks from competing with
them. The truck has been the farm-
ers’ reliance and hope in avoiding
high freight rates; a gasoline tax

would serve the railroads by handi-,

« capping trucks, by helping to put
» trucks out of business. .
More is said about the rich man’s
automobile than about the farmer’s
Ford, which also uses gasoline. Aﬁ’
income tax would reach the big in—
come and would not touch the farm-
er’s income, but a gasoline tax would
be a tax .on every trip the Ford
makes to towu with cream or eggs.
Farmers have to go to town now and
then, for marketing, for repairs to
machinery, or to see a doctor. The
car proves cheaper than horses for
suchtrips, and commonly a farmer
ﬁnds that he has to have a car. In

general, the farmer who has no car -

. is hoping to have one. Taxing gas-
oline is not a help to the farmer; it is

taxing his Ford, his tractor, his buzz— '

saw. To tax the men best able to
pay, a gasoline tax is not necessary;
an income tax will do the work.
Living far from town is a disad-
vantage. A gasoline tax makes the
disadvantage greater; the farmer
who has ten miles to go vmust pay
. ﬁve times the tax paid by the farm-
er who has two miles to go. It is
an unfair tax, not a tax proportioned
to ability to pay.
A gasoline tax is a sales tax, and
a sales tax is wrong in principle; it
is a tax on the consumer, the man
least able to pay. Organized farm-
ers and organized labor have thought
the subject through, and national
organizations are positively on rec-
ord against sales taxes. They have
defeated sales tax proposals in Wash-
ington. . .

State of Michigan could wipe out debts amounting to $63,-
500,000 within the next ten years if a four per cent income

- tax were adopted, as such'a tax would yield a suﬂlcient surplus
over the amount needed to run the state to accompnsh this task._
If the income tax law were drawn in such a manner as to require
the reporting of all incomes. large or small, the grand total report-
ed under the law would not be far from two billion dollars in an
average year. ,From this amount would be deducted the personal

exemptions allowed.

If such exemptions'averaged $1,000 for per-

sons reporting, they would amount to about $1,400,000,000. The
income subject to the four per cent tax rate in an average year
would therefore be around $600,000,000, and the tax thereon
would amount to $24,000,000.—David Friday, President of Mich.

such trouble in this country as the
country has never yet known. Ne-
braska farmers chose to stop sales
taxes befory they started; and the
gasoline tax proposal was an attempt
to start them. Michigan farmers
may yet decide that they want an in-
come tax and no sales taxes.
Taxation should be according to
ability to pay. A graduated income
tax is a tax of exactly that kind.
Small incomes are exempt because
they are needed; they can not be
taxed without lowering the standard
of living of the taxpayers. Big in—
comes may be taxed Without any
harm; but men who have big in-
comes are interested in advocating
taxes of other kinds. The way to tax
the rich man is to tax his income,
not his gasoline. '
A state income tax is not unfair
even for meeting some local ex—
penses, such as the expense of the
country school. The incomes of
millionaires are not derived from
their own school districts; they are
contributed by farmers and other
producers who must pay for freights,
gasoline and farm implements (in-
cluding. Ford cars). Some of the
tribute that the people pay to the

proﬁt system should come back to,

them in support of local schools by a
state income tax. A real unfairness
is giving a poor education to a child
merely because the child’s parents
happen to live in a poor district; that
unfairness may be seen in many
places in Michigan. There is talk of
discontinuing the help that the state
now gives to rural schools; instead,
that help should ,be ‘ .reased. An
income tax would su; ply the money
to increase it.

Taxes on farm lands are clearly
too high. ‘ They are among the reass-

ons why Michigan no longer pro—

' duces its owu food and why the farm

population of the United States was
1,700,000 less in 1920 than in 1910
while cities were growing rapidly.
Unless some change is made in the
system of taxation, Michigan farm
lands are likely to have more to pay.
There is now a project to prohibit
the sale of “lands absolutely unﬁt
for agricultural purposes." Nobody
will pay taxes on land that can nev-
er be sold. Sending lands back to
the state would make heavier taxes
to be paid by the rest of the land.
That land alsoxwould tend to become
“unﬁt for agricultural purposes” be—
cause the taxes would be more than
farmers could pay.

The project seems honest but a

few years ago Kalamazoo celery land

and other good Michigan lands were
held worthless by everybody. In its
time the whole state has been con—
demned as worthless. We know
that our plains are seldom “absolute—
ly unﬁt” to grow potatoes and
cherries, for example. If farming
were more proﬁtable, more of Mich-
igan’s land could be farmed. Mich-
igan land does not need investiga-
tion as much as the marketing
system that makes cities payr ten
cents apiece for such apples as Mich-
igan farmers can not sell.

There is not need to tax farm land
more heavily; there is no need for
the state to tax it at all. There is
no need to discourage the use of gas-
oline. The Wall Street Journal says
that the proﬁts of the Ford Motor
Company in 1922 were over $125,-
000,000. This is one of the indica-
tions that income taxes could easily
pay the total expenses of state gov-
ernment in Michigan without hard-
ship to anybody, without lowering

Growers Should Get ,50c Pound for W001

HAVE had repeated requests for
I advice on wool markets and

prices. I have several folios of
reports, forecasts and subject matter
relating to foreign anl domestic
wool conditions. These can be re-
duced to advices on prices which ‘is
that the average Michigan wool clip
should bring the grower 50c per
pound. Any forecast or pricepadvice
based on statistics may be negatived
by a concerted effort to lower the
market by buyers during the market—
ing season, or by the timidity of the
sellers failing to -hold to a fair
market value. There is little pos-
local dealers exerting

of beans, for example. Many deal-
ers are “ﬁnanced” or are simplycom-
mission buyer's"th some wholesaler.

From the consensus of markets in
London, Boston and feelers being
tried out in the west, the ﬁgures

quoted seem probable. Based on
production costs, the prICe is also
equitable. However if lesses sus—
tained during the last three years are
considered the price is low. The
general price level of wool on this
basis is according to the price index
166 as compared to 100 in 1914. The
general price level of all commodities
is 164. Iron 170. Lumber 193.
Railroad rates 188. Cotton 209.
Wool at 50c per pound is not out
of line with other staple products.
Michigan is second only to Ohio in
the production of bright wools, pro—
duoing around ten million pounds,
this including pulled .wools. Wool
west of the Mississippi river is rated
lower than Ohio and Michigan. Ohio
and Michigan can make their prices
to correspond to thecost of produc—
tion by consistantly holding for 50c
per pound for average clips of wool.

TAXES $120 IN 1905, JUMP TO

$602 IN 1921

HAVE just read the article by

David Friday published in The

Business Farmer of February

seventeenth, which is interesting. Dr.
Friday states the farmers should not
expect prices of farm produce to go
higher, and I believe Dr. Friday is
I read an item in the “Grand
Rapids Press,” written by Ed. K18-
senger, of Ashton, who owns one of I
the best farms in Osceola county. Mr.
Kissenger says “tax farms according
to their producing value, and tax
gasoline 4c per gal., tax cars by their
weight, have every one pay a poll
tax of $5. In fact try and get every
one to bear their share of the tax
burden,” and Mr. Kissenger is right.
Everyone says something must be
done for the farmers or our country
will go to ruin, and everyone is
right, but what must be done?

At our ﬁrst good roads meeting
held in LeRoy, in 1913, one of our
progressive farmers (John A. Nels—
on) stated it was not our work to
build the public reads, it was the
Federal Government’s job, the same
as was done in the country he came
from, and many other countrys, and
Mr. Nelson is right, but when will it'
be done?

With the present auto trafﬁc the
government should build and main—
tain all Trunk Line and mail routes.
it is the only pcrminent cure for our
present condition. Any other sys-
tem must be inferior, and a make
shift, owing to the present distribu—
tion of our wealth. Our law mak—
ers in Washington are wasting a lot
of wind and have been for several
years but have done very little to
beneﬁt our hundred million people.
One bunch wants to cover the ocean
with U. S. Ships to compete with for-
eign countries, another bunch wants
to build another Panama canal, an—
other bunch wants to increase the
farm loan from $10,000 to $50,000.
All this is rot and a damage to our
country. Any farmer who demands
more than $10,000 is a capitalist.
and should be able to farm without
suffering.

What do we want with another
Panama canal, or why build more
ships while our harban are full of
them rotting. Our country cannot
compete in ocean freight rates with
countries where wages are so much
lower, and we must have lower rates
,if we sell our produce. With the
great auto factories turning out
thousands of cars every day, and the
public calling for more roads' and
better roads, and our state school
department demanding of our rural
school districts more expensive equip—
ment and continually raising the
amount of tuition they must pay the
graded schools, and the higher wages
for teachers added to our regular
township, county and state tax, has
raised the taxes to about six times
what they were in 1905. I have
just looked up my tax receipts for
1905, and I paid on a certain lot of
property,” $120.69, and on the same
property without any improvements

OCKING and castration of lanbs
destined for the market mater—

ially ,. increases their market
value because of improvement in
quality, according to the United

States Department of Agriculture.
There are several reasons for this.
Docking makes the hind—quarters of
lambs appear more blocky and deep
and it also adds much to the cleanli—
ness of the animals. Thus they ap—
pear more attractive to the buyer
when they reach the market. Ewes

Which are to be kept in the breeding

ﬂock should also be (locked as a

large portion of the undockcd ewes

' will fail to breed.

‘ Ram lambs over three months of
age tend to grow thin and develop
coarse shoulders and neck. Thin—
ﬂeshed, coarse, open-shouldered
lambs are not of a desirable quality
and when they reach the market

' they are discriminated against by the
buyers because of these features. If
the lambs are castrated and docked
when they are a few days old their
’growth will not be retarded. On the
other hand they will present a better
appearance and if they have been

sirable ﬁnish at four months of age.
Lambs of good quality in this condi—
tion command a premium over bucky
and undockcd lambs at the markets.
Oftentimes during the period when
the Jersey (“ity market is receiving
large numbers of lambs from the
Eastern states, lamb prices at that
market ﬂuctuate sharply because of
the high percentage of undocked and

ance with soil and climatic conditions
and with farm practice. Sandy soil,

clay soil rich in organic matter rev

Rainfall during the growing season
is also an important factor in determ—
ining the results to be obtained from
an application of fertilizer.

Some farmers prefer to apply the
corn fertilizer in the hill or row,
While others are convinced that it
should be drilled solid or broadcast-
ed. The arguments for and against
the two methods can be stated brief-
ly. ' ‘

Fertilizer is applied in the hill so

young corn a “running” start.

Wether lambs are quiet and easily
handled. They feed well and make
good gains in ﬂesh, particularly in
thehind—quarters, the region of the
high—priced cuts. Thus a better
quality of carcass is secured together
with higher market prices for weth—
er lambs. Meat of this quality when
sold by the retailer will result in a
well satisﬁed customer and a future
demand for more meat of the same
quality. It is often stated that
lambs which are to be shipped to the
market before they are four months
old need not be castrated. This is a

mistake as some of the ram lambs
will begin to worry the rest of the
ﬂock and to lose ﬂesh before this
time. Furthermore, the market
may not be strong at the time the
lambs reach this age and they may be
held back by the owner for. several
weeks for higher prices. During
this time the ram lambs will not only
rapidly lose in weight but if 'kept
with the rest of the ﬂock they wll al—
so cause the eWes and ewe lambs to
lose ﬂesh.

Neither docking nor castrating are
dangerous operations if properly per—
formed._ Lambs should be docked
and castrated when they are from
seven to fourteen days of age, as
there is practically no retarding of
growth and less pain than is the case
when they are older. Lambs may be
both docked and castrated at the

More and Better Potatoes to the Acre

Y certiﬁed seed was grown on
ﬁve acres of well manured clov—
er-sod ground. On four acres I

used two tons of commercial fertiliz—
er but did not use any on the other.
On the four acres I planted certiﬁed
seed; on the other mixed seed, most—
ly Russets. The unfertilized seed
yielded 252 bushels; the other four
acres 419 bu. In experimenting with
the fertilizer I used one ton on the
ﬁrst acre and one third of a ton each
on the other three. The one acre
yielded 504 1—2 bushels, the other
three aver god 390 1-3 bushels. The

rows and not of much value. It is
also claimed by some that small ap-
plications of fertilizer cause the crop
to draw more heavily on the supply
of plantfood in the soil. But so does
anything else that is done to increase
the yield, such as the use of good
seed or careful cultivation. The old
adage, “You can’t eat your cake and
have it,” applies very well in this
instance. Every bushel of corn
takes its toll of plantfood and the
only question is, how can this plant-
food be supplied most economically?

There is a common impression that
fertilizer in the hill cause, “bunch—
ing” of the roots and that as a result
corn fertilized in this way is more
likely to be injured by summer
drouth. The Michigan Experiment
Station has carried on a careful in—
.vestigation and has concluded that
there is no “bunchingf’ of roots nor
injury from drouth that can be trac—
ed to hill application. The Wis-
consin Experiment Station has ob-
tained similar results and it would
therefore seem that this objection to

sity of handling them twice. The ~ 
operations should be \performed on a '
clear, cool morning and care should
be taken that. the animals are not ex-
cited or overheated either before'or
after the work is done. v

A sharp knife or some type of i
docking irons may be used to do the '
docking. [In either case the tail
should be cut at the ﬁrst joint which
occurs about one inch from the body.
If a knife is used the lamb should
be held with the feet up, the rump
resting on the top of the fence or up-
on the knee of the person assisting
in the work. There is less pain when
the knife is used but there is more
loss of blood and it is sometimes
necessary to tie a string around the
stump to prevent the lamb from los-
ing a large amount of blood. This '
string must e removed a few hours
later. When hot irOns are used it is
necessary to rest the lamb on 'a I, ‘ I
board. The irons sear the stump as
the cut is made and this prevents the
loss of blood. The wound will heal
more slowly, however, than when a
knife is used.

In castrating, the lamb should be ' j
held in the same position as for dock-
ing. The lower third of the Schotum
should be cut off and the testicles
pulled straight out. It is highly im- '
portant that the wound be washed
with an anticeptic solution and that
the hands and knife be disinfected
It; is also neces-
sary to furnish clean quarters for
the lambs in order to prevent infec-
tion of the wounds.

 

 

 

’; ., «'V‘-,....:~ Awu

hill application of fertilizer may not
be so important as was formerly
thought to be the case.

Fertilizer attachments for corn
planters are, in many cases, poorly
constructed. They too often drop
the fertilizer in a “bunch” and do not
mix it with the soil. Some of them
even deposit the fertilizer in direct l
contact with the seed and this is

1 very likely to delay or even to pre-
vent the germination

. . of the seed. 
There 1s little if any danger in the

hill fertilization of corn if the ferti-“
lizer is distributed so that it is mix- 1
ed with the soil near the seed but not g
in direct contact with the seed. . . -
It is pretty generally agreed that
the bulk of the fertilizer used in a ’
general rotation should be applied
broadcast. Corn fertilized in this | ,
way, however, starts slowly and is ’ '
not beneﬁted materially by the ferti-
llzer until several weeks after plant-
ing. There is, of course, a. large " ‘. .
residual effect from a broadcast ap-I  ..
plication of 200 to~300 pounds of H '
fertilizer on corn. . ’ V’ ‘

WORKING FARM‘ FOR. THIRD”

Please inform us the terms work-
ing on a' farm for a third.———Mrs. C.
E. G., Concord, Michigan.

—Under the one-third stock lease the
landlord furnishes farm machinery
and all stock and tenant furnishes
the labor and gets one-third of the
proceeds. Such expenses as thresh
bill, seeds, etc., are divided in same
proportions as proceeds.

If the landlord furnishes [nothing
but the farm and the tenant furn-
ishes horses, machinery and labor,
he is entitled to one—third of the
small grains as the proceeds and the
tenant pays for the seed and thresh
bill. -

The hay is usually divided equally
and if baled the landlord pays half.
Such crops as hay the landlord furn—
ishes the seed.-—-—F. T. Russell, Prof.
of Farm Management, M. A. C.

ENTITLED TO HALF OF STRAW
I have been working on a farm on
shares beside of my own farm. The
man that is agent of the farm re-
serves the house and I am working
the ﬁelds. We do not keep any stock
on the farm, raising mostly grain.
The agent of the farm sold the straw
and refuses to pay me half. 'The
contract doesn’t say anything about
the straw but it does say: “Each to
get one—half the proceeds derived
from the the sale of all grains, pro-
duce, etc., taken off said farm." Am
I entitled to one-half the money from
the straw? This straw amounts to
about $70.00. I raised, the straw
and consider I ought to have half of
it. Will the farm hold the straw in
such a case.——P., Concord, Mich.

——The clause in the contract provid-
ing that each shall receive one-half
the proceeds derived from the sale
of grain, produce, etc., taken from
the farm would include proceeds de-
rived from the sale of the straw, and
in the absence of a stipulation rela-
tive to the straw, each would be en-
titled to one—half the proceeds from
its sale. Some settlement might
have to be made to cover the cost of
marketing of the straw—Asst. Legal
Editor.

APPLICATION FOR DRAIN

I am working a farm which is own-
ed and occupied by my father and
mother. My father ditched the farm
several years ago but made no out-
lets and we have no co. nty ditches
in our neighborhood and father's
ditches are not large enough to take
the water away. What must I do in
order to have the drain commissioner
establish a drain as such a drain is
badly needed and would be a great
beneﬁt to the neighborhood? Would
I have the right to get out an appli-
cation the same as if I owned the
land and, would I have the right _to
Sign an application were onemade
out and how many signers would
it have to have in order to secure the
drain7—Subscriber. Vassar, Mich.

———If you have the power of attorney
from your father and mother, giving
you general powers to deal with their
property you would thereby be au-
thorized to sign an application for
the construction of a drain. ~
Section 1 of Chapter 3 of the Drain
law provides that a commissioner
will have authority to act upon re-
ceipt of an application signed by not
less than one—half of the free holders
whose lands are traversed by the
drain. You‘ should therefore obtain
an application from the Drain Com-
missioner of your county and procure
the signatures of not less than half
of the property owners whose lands
would be traversed bythe drain to be
applied fan—H. H. Partlow, State
Highway Dept. ‘
QUESTION OF NEGLIGENCE
Two «Of my horses got out in the
road. I went after them, while driv-
ing them home I met a car. It was
just getting/dark. A few rode in
front of the car the horse walked up
into the road. The car struck it and
broke its leg. I called a veterinary
and he advised me to kill the Horse.

slightly damaged and he told me
that ‘he would expect’me to'settle his
bill, on the ground that Lwas not
carrying any light. Can I get pay

for my horse?-—C. 0., Lake Odessa,

Mich. '

——Your recovery in this case would
depend upon the question of' negli-
gence.» In a. recent case, the Mich-
igan Supreme Court held that it is
negligence for the driver of a car
to drive at such a rate of speed‘that
he is unable to stop within—the dis-
tance covered by the range of his
lights. If your horse had been stand-

ing still in the road, it would be neg- ,

ligence on the part of the driver to
fail to see it in time to stop. How-
ever, if the horse ran into the road

in front of the car so as to take the'
’ driver by surprise, his failure to stop

his car in time would not be negli-
gence. The only way you can re-
cover is by showing that the driver
was negligent and that you were not
negligent—Asst. Legal Editor.

NATURAL GAS

I know where there is a place that
if you light a match and pass it over
it burns like gas. No snow lies on it
in winter and it burns till snouther-
ed and there is no smell of gas—H.
L., Gladwin, Mich. ‘
——-I would advise that very probably
the inﬂamable gas isactually natural
gas. It may have a. slightly different
composition than ordinary natural
gas which will account for the lack
of smell. I suspect that you have
found one of the numerous gas seep-
ages which occur in a number of
areas in this State.

In southwestern Macomb and
southeastern Oakland counties the
farmers use some of the surface gas,
which is struck in wells, for heating
and lighting their homes. A gas
spring in Montmorency county is so
large that probably if the ﬂow could
be successfully trapped it would be
sufﬁcient for lighting a group of
houses. Gas wells of considerable
size have been struck in Manistee
county around Portage Lake. Such
signs are not signiﬁcant since they
are in areas of leakage and not of
ac umulation. The pool, if the gas
is derived from one, in most cases is
distant from the seepage. Drilling
in the vicinity of such signs therefore

would be of little use in most in—'

stances. Many wells have been

drilled on the basis of‘these signs and.

nothing. worthy of mention has been
found—R. A. Smith, State Geologist.

REFUSES‘ TO PAY DEBTS

Your Service Bureau seems to an-

swer all questions I would like a
reply to this one. A signs notes with
B to the extent of $2,000.00 and se—
cures no mortgage. B in about two
years refuses to either pay interest
or notes or to even renew them. A
gets a judgement on stock and mach-
inery being forced to hold a sheriﬁ’s
sale, and secured about $300 that
way. B and his wife own 90 acres
in joint deed and A has been told
that there isno Way to secure a hold
on this farm as it is held in a joint
deed. If this is a law in Michigan,
why couldn’t any man that holds a
joint deed with his wife on property,
refuse to pay his honest debts?——G.
G., Breckenridge, Mich.
—The property could not be reached
for the satisfaction of, the debt. How-
ever‘, if‘the husband purchased the
property after the .debt a’ccrued, tak-
ing a joint deed with his Wife,’ his
undividedhalf interest could be levi-
ed upon for the debt.

Before any person extends credit
to another or takes his note without
security, he should be sure that the
debtor is ﬁnancially responsible, and
if he is dependingon certain proper-
ty out, of which to satisfy the debt,
he should ascertain whether that
property can be reached by creditors.

The law always looks to the secur:
ing to every man of his rights and
aims to protect him in those rights
from unscrupulous practices by‘oth-
etc. However, it expects in return
that every man will exercise. reason-
able prudence in his business deal-

. lugs, and it cannot always furnish a

remedy  uninjured .m in.

-—J. N., Sanilac County, Mich. " “-
—The Federal Farm Loan Act prej—
vides for a dual system of banking, 2
consisting of Federal Land Banks!
and Joint "Stock Land Bank's;

Federal Land Banks loan their funds

through National Farm Loan Assoc-x 
lotions, and each borrower must take; 

5 per cent of his borrowings in stock
with a double liability on that stock,
and must help maintain nth associa-
tion while' he is a. member.._¥ These --
associations are limited to loans of "

. $10,000.09 and to men who are act-

ually living on the farm. This bank,
is limited to loans not to exceed $37 ,-
500.00 to one individual, but is not 
limited to men who actually live on'_
the farm, just so they use the funds
for agricultural purposes. ~ ~ ‘
The purpose of these two types of
banks was to give the farmer the

choice of joining a co-operative insti-

tution or making a. loan direct
through a Joint Stock Land Bank
without any further liability. This
is the reason why there has always
been a difference of one—half’of one
'per cent between the interest rate
charged by the Federal Land Banks
and by the Joint Stock Land Banks.
The actual cost of the money to the
Borrower is the same. .

There is no commission charge in
our loans. The total charge we
make is a ﬂat charge of $5.00 per ~
thousand *to cover the services of .the
Federal Appraiser and the Title E‘x-
aminer. We require'that every ap-.
plication coming to us be accompan-
ied by an application fee of $12.50.
which is credited to the $5.00 per
thousand charge when the loan is
closed. Our .Mortgages are exempt
from the Mortgage Registration Tax
in the State of Michigan.

On account of the limited proﬁts,
however, to Joint Stock Land Banks
in this business, it is necessary that
we receive a number of applications
at one time in order to enable us to
make all inspections at a reasonable
cost, unless an‘ application is for a
large amount.

whom you feel would be desirable

HIRING SCHOOL TEACHER

.Can a director alone or the three
oﬁcers of a school district alone hire
a teacher at the time of the Xmas
vacation or ﬁrst of January? Has
the law changed in the last few years

July? A few years ago no teachers
Were hired until the night of the

our director hired the teacher again
for another year.——E. M., Clifford,

—+The board of education is the au-

. ers and they may do so at any time
during the school year. The direct-

er. The legal voters have not had
the right to direct the employment of
the teacher in over forty years at
least. Section 13 of Chapter 3 of

(Continued from March 3rd Issue)

The Ford residence is of gray nat-
ive stone and built along the Gothic

lines. His study is in the-round
tower. Long bookcases. shelter his
books, the technical ones among

them showing plainly their constant
use, and 'a large Window looks to-
ward the bungalow which Mr. Ford
built in the ﬁrst days of his prosper-
ity as a resting place where he would
be safe from intrusion. Its broad
veranda and great ﬁreplace sur-
rounded with easy chairs make it
comfortable in summer or winter.

The study windows overlook what at 7

ﬁrst glance seems an Indian mound,
but which is the'natural shelter for
the electric boat which Mrs. Ford
drives up and down the river- All
the windows give a view of the River
Rouge, which has been compared to
the James in Virginia.

Within a short distance of the resi-
dence is the gray stone garage in
which are Mr. Ford’s laboratory and
experiment rooms, and where he per-
fected the tractor on which he
worked harder than on any other of
his inventions. In reality this gar-
age building is a modern power plant
with exceptionally heavy walls to
shut in all noise.
often labors until late in the night,
just as he did in the red brick barn
in Bagley street, Detroit, where he
made his ﬁrst car.

“No,” replied the millionaire, “I
don’t believe in expensive churches."

“Then,” said the clergyman, “will
you come to my next service and let
me preach a sermon especially for
I hope to convince you that
you are wrong.”

The following Sunday the minister
cast a searching eye over his con-
gregation; then he announced his
text. It was from I Chronicles, 17
chapter and ﬁrst verse; “And it came
to pass, when David dwelt in his
house that David said to Nathan, the
prophet: ‘Lo, I dwell in a house of
cedar, but the ark of the covenant of
the Lord dwelleth under curtains.’ "
The minister raised his eyes from his
Bible and exclaimed; “The word
curtains used here means
He followed the text by readlng the
verses one, two, four, ﬁve and nine
with especial emphasis on the fourth,
ﬁfth and ninth. Then he turned
the pages to 11 Samuel, 7 chapter,
and read:

“And Nathan said to the King,
‘Go, do all that is in thine heart;
for the Lord is with thee.’

“And it came to pass the same
night, that the word of the Lord
came unto Nathan, saying:

“ ‘Go and tell my servant David,
“Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou
build me an house for me to dwell in.

“ ‘I have been with thee whither-
soever thou Wentest and have cut off
thine enemies from before thee and I
will make thee a great name, like
unto the name of the great ones that
are on the earth.’ ”

The Clergyman launched into his
sermon. After he was well started

he ﬁxed his eye on Henry Ford and i

said: “The church is the dynamo
of the Lord's business. It is right
and proper that churches should be
beautiful and should be as lovely as
it is possible to make them. Why
should we live in ﬁne houses, houses
of cedar, and worship the Lord in
tents? There is a rich man in this
city, a very rich man, who considers
that his engine is the dynamo of his
factory. It has always been the cus.
tom to place such engines near the
rear, in an ugly section of a. factory;
facing an alley. This rich man had
put his engine in the front part of
his factory, it is in a beautiful room
With pure white tiling. He keeps
men constantly polishing and clean-
ing it; he has surrounded it with
handsome plate glass windows. The
engine faces the most expensive
thoroughfare in our city. Sightseer:

this engine; he surrounds it with the
best that money can buy.- He con-
siders it the dynamo of his business.
This is true with churches. They are
the dynamo of the Lord’s business.
They should have in and around
them everything that is lovely and
beautiful. No expense should be
spared in the construction of ‘a
church nor its location.”

The minister went on and on with
his argument. The following week
he went to see his richest parishion-
er. No mention was made of the
sermon until he was leaving.

“I haven’t changed my mind,"
said Mr. Ford then.
as I did. I don't believe in expen-
sive churches. But I do think that
a minister should be paid a salary
that will enable-him to live in com-
fort, and lay by something, so that
he can buy a, home or a farm or a
little place in the country where he
can round out his last days. I'm
going to disappoint you; I’m not
going to give you anything for your
new church." He handed the min-
ister an envelope. “Please give that
to your wife when you get home,
just a little token of my regard for
you both."

When the rector returned home he
told his wife-of the disappointing
visit and handed her the envelope.
In it were twenty one—hundred dol-
lar bills. '

The rector later built his ‘big
church. He succeeded in his ambi-
tions. He was taken abroad, and
sent to various parts of the country
by the millionaire; eventually he re-
ceived a large salary. ,

Eventually the minister and his
wife drove into the country; they

_ found a little fruit place, with a tiny

houseon it, something to tie to in
case of old age or misfortune.

It is characteristic of Henry Ford
that he took no offense to the frank-
ness of the sermon, but did not
change his mind.

i Q i t

In order to keep his factory run-
ning full blast through December,
1920, Mr. Ford took a loss of ﬁfteen
millions. Against the advice of his
business associates he kept produc-
tion going until after Christmas Day.
When New York reporters telephon-
ed his oiﬁce he refused to give his
reasons for the shut down, his idea
being that a state nt regarding his
retrenchments and the re-organiza—
tion of his business might depress
the market. Immediately there arose
wild rumors that he was in ﬁnancial
difﬁculties. Happily, these were un-
true. His aversion for borrowing
has placed his gigantic undertakings
on a safe ﬁnancial footing. Detroit
is not New York; Griswold is not
Wall Street, but a prominent Detroit
banker has said: “If Henry ‘Ford
should need large sums of money,
Detroit will secure it for him."

However, it was the serious illness
of his son, who went through an ap-
pendicitis operation, which caused
Mr .Ford graVe concern during the

winter of 1920-21, and not ﬁnancial,

difﬁculties. ,

A joy he is getting from his money
is refurnishing his mother’s old
home, which he bought from his
brother, John. As stated before, the
towu line when ﬁnally surveyed ran
through this house. The county com-
missioners ordered the house mov-
ed so that a road called- “Townline”
could be built. Accordingly, k,the
dwelling was thrust back to make
way for progress, and the forest trees
in the yard were hewn down because
they interfered with the grading.

. Mr. Ford is having similar trees plac-

ed around the old home. He has
gone into the attics and barns of his
brothers' houses and has found dis-
carded furniture which he associates
with his mother's memory and he has
said to the rest of the family: Be-
fore many years roll by we will be-
gin to grow old. We will ﬁx' the
home place like mother and father
had it. We were so happy when we

'-were children there together.”

CHAPTER X
His Wife and His Home

No one could hope to write an ad-  
equate review of the development of ‘  1 ' ,.
Henry Ford’s life and character with- ‘ '- ,_ * " ‘
out including some account of the “1
wife who has meant so muchto him 
in so many ways .from the day he
devised the watch with four hands,
through all his struggles, disappoint-
ments and successes, down to the‘
present time. During all these Years
the home life of Mr. and Mrs. Ford
has been ideal.

One must know Mrs.

pride

 
   
  
    

 

 

Ford inti-
mately to understand fully her part
in the Ford achievements. She is.
thoroughly home-loving, capable and
charming. So considerate is she, ' V .
so unpretentious and gracious, that "
visitors to the Ford home forget that
their hostess is one of the richest
Women in the world, owning in her .
own right a one—third interest in the «I
corporation that is reported to pay i
an annual tax of eighty millions. l
i
.’

Mrs. Ford dreSses in shades of ,i
brown or blue, and mink and sable v’
are her favorite furs. She is small
of ﬁgure, youthful in appearance,
with chestnut eyes. Her voice is low
and musical. We sat one winter af— ,
ternoon in the sun parlor of her ' 'i
home watching the birds about the ;
weather—worn stump on which each
winter, day she places fresh grain
for her feathered friends. Beyond,

among tall forest trees, snow‘cov-
ered the ground and the frozen
water was a sheet of gray ice. Be— l
hind us in the drawing room, which
is paneled in French—bleached Ameri-
can walnut and furnished with cozy '
chairs and heavy velvet draperies of l
mullberry color, long hickory logs ‘
were crackling cheerfully in the carv-
ed white marble ﬁreplace. The con-
versation drifted to the part that
woman must take in present day
affairs.

“There are so many demands for ‘
help that it would be unfair to take, ‘-
them lightly 6r to consider them in A
a haphazard, happy-go—lucky fash- '
ion," she said softly. “If they are
handled carefully and systematically , .1
Women can uplift, not pauperize, ,_ /
thoSe they seek to help. Every vil- '
lage, city and state has its problems 5 ,
to solve. It seems to me that every -,
homeloving woman should use her ',
personal inﬂuence to cope with all i l
the issues that directly and indirect- i ‘
ly touch her home. If she does this,” ' r
she added with a smile, "she will be l
compelled to take an active interest
in politics. She may have to get out
her school books and brush up on '
community civics and the science of
government, for woe be unto her if 
she fails to understand exactly what.
she is undertaking. Of course," she
added whimsically, “it would be
easier and pleasanter to sit at home
by the ﬁre and knit, or chat idly over
our teacups; but those times are
slipping from us.” '

Mrs. Ford seldom has an ilde
moment. Large wealth has brought
her pleasures and privileges; it has A
also brought heavy responsibilities. '
Each day she receives volumes of l
mail. Her desk overﬂows with ,ap- . I
peals for help; to answer them per- i
sonally would be an endless task.

Her name and assistance are sought!
by local, state, national and inter-
national Welfare workers. Personally |
she visits the detention homes; she
lunches at the House of Correction; -
she consults with the women's police -
board oﬁicials. Each case she seeks ‘
to help is ﬁrst investigated by experts .
through authorative channels. Some ‘
of us know of thousands of families :

closed; many of those she visited; l

I'V‘VDea’rborn :estate,‘ and half-way 'be- I
 tween Detroit and the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor, is ‘a square

red brick home, “Valley Farm.”
'Passers-by, in automobiles, gaze at
it with frank curiosity. It isyunder-
stood that Mrs. Ford is deeply inter—
ested in' social welfare’problems and
that this Valley Farm belongs to her.
Ifthe inventions and vast wealth of
Henry Ford have made him a world
ﬁgure, they have made the‘ activities
of his wife of interest wherever their
name is known. The general public
knows little of the work accomplish-
ed at Valley Farm; except that it is
some sort of rescue Work. The old
house is bravely facing new condi-
tions. It is doing ultra—modern
work; developed scientiﬁcally, by
professionally trained workers, for
the beneﬁt of, posterity. This is pos-
sibly the strongest link in the chain
of work of the Dunbar Memorial Wo-
man’s Hospital, and the most far-
reaching of all the great and good
achievements of Detroit women.
The farm; thirteen miles out in the
ccemtry, has proved’a boon to the
hospital in Detroit, which is located
on the busy, noisy corner of Fred—
erick and St. Antoine.

Through Mrs; Ford’s courage and
thoughtfulness in sponsoring this
work, its results will be felt to. many
generations. It has meant the sal-
vation of thousands, whose success-
ful reclamation has blezed the trail
for welfare workers. a

What has actually been accom-
plished is of more importance than
any general theorizing. Mrs. Ford
has been affectionately called “the
erring girl’s friend.’? She says,
“Men are willing to help boys and
pulsiveness have brought trouble
and distress to many girls and to
their families. It is wonderful what
has been done for them by those in
charge at Valley Farm. They do
it beautifully and sympathetically.
They reach the girls when they are
friendless, depressed and often bit-
terly antagonistic to the world. The
quiet activities include two months’
training and hygiene, household arts
and parental duties. The kindly,
far-sighted board of trustees and
the tireless, unselﬁsh trained nurses
assist each one to secure work and
establish a clean, wholesome home.”

i i t 3

Mrs. Ford has opened the door of
opportunity for many ambitious peo—
ple, and has put success within the
grasp of others. She is constantly
lending a helping hand to those who
need it most. Each day she is con-
fronted with a round of duties, for
she is the energetic, capable type
of American womanhood which is
playing a tremendous part in world
affairs today. Her creed is that
“Money should be used to make the
world better, not to create envy and
breed selﬁshness.”

Being» a musician, Mrs. Ford has

i
a concert piano in her family living :

room; a pipe organ in the walls of
her drawing room; in her library,
which is lined from ﬂoor to ceiling
with much-read books, is a Victrola;
in her sun—parlor an Edison. “Mus-
ic is refreshing,” she says.

She organized the Dearborn Gar—
den Club, of which she has long
been presidenttand through her in—
ﬂuence the members combine well-
fare work'with nature study. This
club holds two annual ﬂower shows.
Blue Ridge Mountain rhododendron,
which in June is laden with gor-
geous pink blossoms, ﬂanks the Ford
doorway and the lovely graystone
mansion is very comfortable, very.
homelike.

Seven thousand acres are in the
estate. The land stretches back to
the city limits and in the opposite
direction toward the tractor plant
a River Rouge. The ﬁrst home
built by Mr. Ford still stands in the
grounds. It is an attractive, frame
farm house, with awide veranda and
green roof, and is furnished as it
was during their early housekeep-
ing days. Near it is a rustic bunga-
low, where guests are sometimes en-
tertained.

In spring and summer a rush of
lilac and heliotrope fragrance surges
through the open windows of Mrs.

are re-set outdoors. , This cycle, fol-
lOwed year/ by year, has produced
specimens ﬁve feet in height, with
trunks four inches in circumference.
Some of' her other ﬂowers are blue
larkspur, yellow gaillardias, bronze
alpigolossis, blue seabosa, sweet
peas, asters, shirley poppies, mari-
gold and gourds which she raises
to please her grandchildren. The
rose garden is. the only hit of for-
mal landscape. She said one ‘day
while talking about her ﬂowers: “I
cannot buy everything I crave. Like
my mother I love old-fashioned
pinks. I haunted ﬂorists’ shops, old
homes and cemeteries in search of
these tiny, red-ﬂocked, spicily scent—
ed plants. It was my dress-maker's
sister who, generously, sent the has-
ket of roots to form the nucleus of
my large beds.”

Two miles from the estate can be
seen .the twinkling lights of the little
village of Dearborn. To it she has
given a library site and has built

and given to the Elpiscopal church
a large brick rectory; she is a mem-
ber of the social service committee
of her church. Greenﬁeld, where
she was born and reared, is ﬁve
miles from Dearborn. In the sum-
mer Mrs. Ford ‘takes a family party

has traveled the world over, but,
withthe exception of a small place
at Fort Myers, Florida, which Thom-
as Edison persuaded them to pur-

chase next to his winter cottage,"

the Fords have never owned a home
ohtside of Detroit or Wayne County.
“We have lived here always,” she
say, "-and here we love to stay.”
Persistent sightseers have made it
necessary to keep the gates of the
estate locked and guarded. All the

SAFE AND EFFICIENT TOOLS
FOR THE USE OF EXPLOSIVES
0 use high explosives with the
maximum of safety and eﬂicien-
6y, varioustools and accessories
are necessary or desirable. Of course
the character of the work governs to
a great extent the kind of tools re-
quired and to 'certain extent the
blasting accessories also.

A four-pound hammer and a drill
are necessary tools for
boulders that can not be blasted in
any other way. A round soil punch
bar pointed at one end and with an
expandei head on the other, with a
heavy sledge hammer or maul is nec—
essary for quick work in shooting
stumps or tree planting or subsoiling
in hardpan or dry clay. ‘A punch
bar of different type is useful in
moist ground, muck and swampy
land. This consists of a‘ length of
two inch galvanized iron pipe about
five feet long, pionted at one end
and threaded to receive a “T” at the
other. Two shorter pieces of pipe
about a foot long each threaded into
this “T” which forms a handle. This
make a convenient punch for one or
two men to operate where the soil
permits but it is not adapted to be—
ing driven down by a hammer. An
axe or mattock are convenient tools
for clearing brush around stumps
and boulders and a sawed Off broom
stick or rake handle makes a very
efﬁcient tamping stick. A "shovel
handle with the.ronnded end sawed
off square, leaving the offset end to
hold by, makes a convenient tamp-
ing stick in some kinds of work. The
tamping stick is used for pressing
the charges of dynamite into the bore
hole and for pressing in the tamping
such as earth, clay or sand to conﬁne
the charge. It is not safe to ham—
mer this at any time; in fact, it is
extremely dangerous. The charges
age pressed in- ﬁrmly but not pound—
e

Various types of soil angers are;

used, but an ordinary two inch wood
auger with an extension welded on
in a ring
through which a wagon spoke can be
used as a handle, answers the pur-
pose very well. Do not make the
mistake of using too small an auger.

, Two inches in diameter is about the

minimum. A straight steel bar
sharp pointed at one end and chisel-
pointed at the other, about seven
feet long, made out of one—inch or
one and one-quarter inch drill steel

shooting-

makes a very handy tool for .making
holes under stumps and boulders,
getting between roots which the aug-
er becomestangled with, and for cut-
ting off reotlets with the'chisel end.

In the blasting ac, toriez line you
will require besides the dynamite,
some blasting caps and ‘15s or elec-
tric llasting caps, leading wire and
a blasting machine. The electrical
method is much safer than the can
and fuse method but the initial cost
is somewhat greater as you have to
buy a ' fasting machine and leading
wire. The electric blasting caps
‘3 than
blasting ate with the required
amount of fuss. Cap crimpers are
a desirable and necessary part of
your equipment if you use the cap
and fuse method, and are convenient
even withgthe electrical method, as
one leg of the crimper is pointed for
the purpose of punching a hole in
the dynamite cartridge in which the
electric blasting cap is inserted. The
most convenient Leading wire is call—
ed duplex wire because it has two
wires laid parallel to each other and
insulated from each other and from
the ground. This is generally sold
in lengths of 250 feet. A shorter
amount than this is not particularly
safe for shooting large size stumps in
the open. The No. 2 blasting mach—
ine is the best all round arrangement
for generating current for electric
blasting as the terminals are dead ex-
cept at the moment the machine is
operated. Many accidents have oc-
curred when dry cells or storage bat-
teries are used, due to the fact that
their terminals are always alive un-
til the battery runs down.

A necessary rule in all kinds of
electriCal blasting which is put with
all possible emphasis is this: Dis-
connect the leading wire from the
battery immediately after ﬁring‘ a
shot of attempting to fire one. In
looking for a broken wire anywhere
in your circuit, ﬁrst make sure that
therbattery is disconnected, other—
wise there may be an accident.

A galvanometer for testing the
continuity of the circuit is desirable
but not absolutely necessary, for the
general run of agricultural blasting
unless you expect to go into the busi-
ness. The same may be said of the
rheostat which is an instrument for
testing the blasting machine to see

.that it is in working order.———Arthur

FRUIT AND ORCHARD

Edited by FRANK D.

MAKING UNPROFITAELE ORCH-
ABDS PAY

EASURED by the abundance and
M regularity of the crops of high-
grsde fruit produced, there are
many apple orchards of bearing age
that are not successful. Because a
large number of these unproﬁtable
orchards can be made to yield good
crops of high-quality fruit by special
treatment, the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture has prepared
Farmers' Bulletin 1284, Apple—Orch—
ard Renovation, by H. P. Gould,
which discusses the principal pract-
ices found useful in bringing neglect—
ed trees back into proﬁt—producing
condition.

- Orchards in need of renovation are
found not only in sections where the
home orchard or fruit garden is the
prevailing type of fruit growing, and
in regions where orchards of consid-
erable size occur only occasionally,
but also in the recognized commerc-
ial apple-growing districts. Some
orchards are not worth the time and
expense necessary to renovate them.

In deciding what is to be done the .

following factors need to be consid-
ered: The orchard must be on a
good site with no rock ledges or
herdpan near the surface, well drain-
ed and without unusual danger from
frosts; the trees must have good 11-
tality, without decayed trunks, cank-
on that girdle the limbs, .or weakness
that would mskegood  impos—

’sible; the  man be
good  it in   ..

   

WELLS

there are many commercial plantings
much damage may be done by insect
pests and diseases that have their
source in badly infected trees. In
semestates a neglected orchard is
practically declared by law to be a
public nuisance and is treated ac-
cordingly. ‘ If the owner will not
clean 1t_up, public ofﬁcials do it and
the expense becomes a lien on the
property until paid.

As a rule, says the author of the
bulletin, a much-neglected orchard
does not justify its .existance. , If an
orchard is worth keeping it is worth
givmg good attention; otherwise, the
trees merely encumber the ground
and interfere with its use for other
purposes. If an apple tree is not of
value for fruit production it may be
worth converting into tool handles,
plane blocks, and other useful things.

Persons interested in renovating
orchards or those who wish to decide
whether or not a certain orchard is
worth the attempt should get the bul-
letin, which may be obtained without
cost from the Department of Agri-
culture, ;Washington, D'. ,'C. '-

———Boxwood can be rooted frOm cut-
tings made of young shoots, 4 or 5
in. long, either in the spring or fall.
Some growers are quite successful in
rooting them planted in sandy soil in

' early spring, but the surest and most

successful method is. to handle them
under glass, either in the green house
or cold frame. In either case they
should be planted in good propagat-
ing sand, and the glass shaded with
whitewash to keep the temperature
down on bright days. Boxwood, like
‘mostly all other evergreens, may be
pruned any time that the wood is not
frozen.

PRUNING CHERRY TREES

I have some cherry trees, planted
last year and year before, and ask
just where they should be pruned.—
‘V. W. B. ”
——-When planting is done in the fall
there should be no pruning until
spring. If one-year-old trees are
planted, they should not be touched
except to be headed on at the prOper
height in case they would otherwise
make too high a head. If older trees
are planted, all branche: not needed
for the framework of the tree should
be removed, and the remaining
branches should not be pruned. The
newly planted tree should have
plenty of foliage, and as soon as pos-
sible. The last year’s growth which
is left for the framework will give
more foliage if left entire, since the
large perfectly developed buds at the
ends of the branches, which would
be removed if pruned, are the buds
which give the most luxuriant foliage
in the shortest time. Further than
this it is not good practice to prune
cherry trees at all, except to remove
‘ dead and broken branches incident to
picking, and to remove entire such
other limbs as are not desired.

SAVING THE HAY THROUGH
. RADIO ‘

AST June and July were two of

L the wettest months so! far as

rainfall is concerned that New
Jersey has ever seen. Farmers all
over the state lost thousands of tons
of hay because the heavens wept so
continuously that it was impossible
to get hay sufﬁciently dry and well
enough cured to put in the barns beﬁ-
tore it had turned black with rat an
spoiled. If a farmer could always
know exactly when the rain was com-
ing he could beat the “game by not
mowing down his hay until old Sol,
the sun and boss of all hay makers
was going to show his face.

E. Smith Hoover, Manager of the
State Farm of Annandale obtaiped
this information over the radio and
as a result has his barns full of an

one-hundred percent crop of ﬁne al-A

falfa and clover hay. He never lost
a load all summer.
During haying season every morn-
ing at eleven either Mr.._Hoover or his
Wife tuned up their set and listened
for WJZ, the Newark Broadcasting
Station of the Westinghouse Comp-
any, which gives out the U. S. Weath--

(Continued from March 3 Issue)
OR a moment Joanne stood facing
the little lake, and when she
spoke again there was a note of
thankfulness, of subdued joy and
triumpt in her voice.

“Before that day had ended I had
displeased Mortimer FitzHugh," she
said. and Aldous saw the ﬁngers of
her hands close’ tightly. “I told him
that until a month had passed I
would not live with him as a wife
lives with her husband. And hewas
displeased. And my father was not
yet buried! I was shocked. My
soul revolted.

“We went to London and I was
made welcome in the' older Fitz-
Hugh’s wifeless home, and the papers
told of our wedding. And two days
later there came from Devonshire a
woman a sweet—faced little woman
with sick, haunted eyes; in her arms
she brought a. baby; and that baby
was Mortimer FitzHugh’sl

“We confronted him—the mother,
the baby, and I;
that he was a ﬁend. And his father
was a ﬁend. They offered to buy the
woman off, to support her and the
child, They told me that many Eng"
lish gentlemen had made mistakes
like this, and that it was”nothing——-
that is was quite common. Morti—
mer FitzHugh had never touched me
with his lips, and now, when he came
to touch me with his hands, I struck
him. It was a serpent’s house, and
I left, it.

“My father had left me a com-
fortable fortune, and I went into a
house of my owu. Day after day
they came to me, and I knew that
they feared I was going to secure a
divorce. During the six months
that followed I learned other things
about the man who was legally my
husband. He was everything that
was vile. Brazenly he went into
public places with women of dishon-
our, and I hid my face in shame.

“His father died, and for a time
Mortimer FitzHugh became one» of
the talked—about spendthrifts of Lon—
don. Swiftly he gambled and dis-
sipated himself into comparative pov—
erty. And now, learning that I
would not get avdivorce, he began
to regard the as a slave in chains.
I remembered, one time, that he suc-
ceeded in laying his hands on me,
and they were like the touch of
things that were slimy and poison-
ous. He laughed at my revulsion.
He demanded money of me, and to
keep him away from me I gave it
to him. Again and again, he came
for money; I suffered as I cannot
tell you, but never once in my misery
did I weaken in my promise to my
father and to myself. But—at last
—-I ran away.

“I went to Egypt, and then to
India. A year later I learned that
Mortimer FitzHugh had gone to
America, and I returned to London.
For two years I heard nothing of
him; but day and night I lived in
fear and dread. And then came the
news that he had died, as you read
in the newspaper clipping. I was
free! For a' year I believed that;
and then, like a shock that had come
to destroy me, I was told that he

was not dead but that he was alive, _

and in a place called Tote Jaune
Cache, in British Columbia. I could.
not live in the terrible suspense that
followed. I determined to ﬁnd out
for myself if he was alive or dead.}
He is down there—dead. And I am

' glad, that he is dead!”
. i .“ And 1.! ho. wasl'not doadﬁ’. said , b

 

and then I knew"

#

Aldous quietly, “I would kill him!"

He could ﬁnd nothing more to say.
than that. He dared trust himself
no further, and in silence he held out
his hands, and for a "moment Joanne
gave him her own. Then she with-
drew them, and with a little gesture,
and the smile which he loved to see
trembling about her mouth, she said:

“Donald will think this is scandal-
Ous. We must go back and apolo—
gize!"

She led him down the slope, and
her face ﬁlled with the pink ﬂush of
a wild rose when she ran up to Don-
ald, and asked him to help her into
her saddle. John Aldous rode like‘
one in a dream as they went back
into the valley, for with each minute
that passed Joanne seemed more and
more to him like a beautiful bird
that had escaped from its prison—
cage, and in him mind and soul were
absorbed in the wonder of it and in
his own rejoicing. She was free,
and in her freedom she was happy!

Free! It was that thought that
pounded steadily in his brain. He
forgot Quads, and Culver Rann, and
the gold: he forgot his own danger,
his own work, almost his own exist-
ence. Of a sudden the world had
become inﬁnitesimally small for him,
and all he could see was the soft
shimmer of Joanne’s hair in the sun,
the wonder of her face, the marvell—
ous blue of her eyes—and all he
could hear was the sweet thrill of her
voice when she spoke to him or old
Donald, and when, new and then,
soft laughter trembled on her lips
in her sheer joy of the life that had
dawned anew for her this day.

They stopped for dinner, and then
went on over the range and down
into the valley where lay Tete Jaune.
And all this time he fought to keep
from ﬂaming in his own face the de—
sire that was like a hot ﬁre within
him—the desire to go to Joanne
and tell her that he loved her as he
had never dreamed it possible for
love to exist in the whole wide world.
He knew that to surrender to that
desire in.this hour would be some-
thing of a sacrilege. He did not
guess that Joanne saw his struggle,
that ex J11 old' MacDonald mumbled
low words in his beard. When they
came at last to Blackt‘on’s bungalow
he thought that he had kept this
thing from her, and he did not see——
and would not have understood if he
had seen—the wonderful and mys—
terious glow in Joanne's eyes when
she kissed Peggy Blackton.

Blackton had come in from the
work—end, dust-covered and jubilant.

“I'm glad you folks have re-
turned,” he cried, beaming with en-
thusiasm as he gripped Aldous by the
hand. “The last rock is packed, and
tonight we’re going to shake the
earth. We’re going to blow up Coy-
ote Number Twenty-seven, and you
won’t forget the sight as long as you
live!”

Not until Joanne had disappeared
into the house with Peggy Blackton
did Aldous feel that he haddescend—
ed ﬁrmly upon his feet once more
into a matter-of-fact world. ,Mac—
Donald was waiting for the horses,
and Blackton was pointing over to—
ward the steel workers; and saying
something about to 11 thousand
pounds of black powder and dynam- ‘
its and a mountain that had stood a
million years and' was going, to _be
blown up that night} - ' .

“Fine!” said Aldous.

"And Peggy wants me to say that
it’s a matter of only common every-
day decency on your part to make
yourself our guest while here,” add-
ed the contractor, stuﬂing his pipe.

“We’ve got plenty of room, encugh-

to eat and a comfortable bed for
you. You’re going to be polite
enough to accept, aren’t you?”
“With all my heart,” exclaimed
Aldous, his_blood tingling at the
thought of being near Joanne. “I’ve

'got some business with MacDonald

and as soon as that’s over I’ll domi-
cile myself here. It’s bully of- you,
Blackton! You know ”
“Why, dammit, of course I know
chuckled Blackton, lighting his pipe.
"Can’t I see Aldous? D’ye think I’m
blind? I was just as gone eyer Peg-
gy before I married her. Fact is,
I haven’t got over it yet—and never
will. I come up from the work four
times a day regular to see her, and
if I don’t come up I have to send up
word I’m safe. ’IPeggy saw it ﬁrst.
She said it was a shame to put you

my nose in your business, old man,
but—by Georgel—I congratulate
you! I've only seen one lovlier wo-
man in'my life, and that’s Peggy.”
He thrust out a hand and pumped
his friends limp arm, and Aldous
felt himself growing suddenly warm
under the other’s chuckling gaze.
"FOr goodness sake don’t sa any-

Blackton nodded wit

A question was in ~
but he did not put it in "

Culver Rann.

forgetful fellow at times that I don’
want to rouse his alarm,” he said to
MacDonald as they were riding to-
ward the corral a few minutes later.
"He might let something out to Jo-
anne and his wife, and I’ve got rea-
sons, Mac—for keeping this affair as
quiet as possible. We’ll have to dis-
cover what Rann and Quade are do—
ing ourselves.” '

MacDonald edged his horse in
nearer to Aldous.

“See here, Johnny, boy—tell me
what’s in your mind?”

Aldous looked into the grizzled
face, and there was something in the
glow of the old mountaineer’s eyes
that made him think of a father.

“You know, Mac."

Old Donald nodded.

“Yes, I guess I do, Johnny,” he
said in a low voice. “You think of
Mis" Joanne as I used to—to—~think
of her. I guess I know. But——
what you goin’ to do?”

Aldous shook his head, and for
the ﬁrst time that afternoon a look
of uneasiness and gloom overSpread
his face.

“I don’t know, Mac. I’m not
ashamed. to tell you. I love her.
If she were to pass out of my life
to—morrow I would ask for something
that belonged to her, and the spirit
of her would live in it for me until
I died. That’s how I care,'Mac. It
wouldn’t be the square thing. And
yet she won’t remain in Tote Jaune
very long. Her mission is accomp-
lished. And if—if she goes I can’t
very well follow her, can I, Mac?”

For a space old Donald was silent.
Then he said, “You’re thinkin' of me,
Johnny, ,an’ what we was planning
on?"

“Partly.”

“Then don’t any more. I'll stick
‘ only"
“What?” . . - -

"That she’d take you, Johnny.”

In his breast John’s heart seemed
suddenly to give a jump that choked
him. And while he stared ahead
old Donald went on.

“I’ve seen it afore’ in a pair of
eyes just like her’eyes, Johnny—so
soft an’ deeplike, like the sky up
there when the sun’s in it. I seen
it when we was ridin’ behind an’ she
looked ahead at you, Johnny. I did.
An’ I’ve seen it afore. An I
think ” ~

Aldous waited, his heart-strings
ready to snap. _

“An’ I think—she likes you a
great deal, Johnny." v '

Aldous reached over and gripped
MacDonald’s hand.

“The good Lord bless you, Don-
- aid! We’ll stick! As for Quade
and Culver Rann "

“I've been thinkin’/of them,” in-
terrupted MacDonald. “You haven’t
got time to waste on them, Johnny.
Leave ’em to me. If it’s only a week
you’ve got to be close an’ near by
Mis’ Joanne. I’ll ﬁnd out what
Quade an’ Rann are doing, and what
they’re goin’ to do. I’ve got a
scheme. Will you leave ’em to me?"

Aldous nodded, and in the same
breath informed MacDonald of Peggy
Blackton’s invitation. The old hunt-
er chuckled exultantly. He stopped
his horse, and Aldous halted.

“It’s workin’ out ﬁne, Johnny!”
he exclaimed. “There ain’t no need
of you goin’ any further. We under-
stand each other, and there ain’t
nothin’ for you to do at the corral.
Jump off your horse and go back.
If I want you I’ll come to the Black-
ton’s ’r send word, and if you want
me I’ll be at the corral or the camp
in the coulee. Jump oﬂ’, Johnny!”

Without further urging, Aldous
dismounted. They shook hands
again, and MacDonald drove ahead

longer, than any other
car built today.

Owners of passenger car
ﬂeets have demonstrated
Hupmobile’s unequalled
economy beyond any

possibility of doubt.

Afterexperimentingwith

various cars, they have

finally standardized

upon the Hupmobile as

giving lowest cost serv-
. ice in the long 'run.

There is no secret about
Hupmobile economy. It

begins with its better en-
gineering design, and
comes down to the fact
that ﬁner, more durable
parts are used where
wear and durability pro-
mote longer life and
lower costs.

Most of these parts are
concealed within the
‘motor, transmission, or
rear axle, where the
average owner never
sees them.

Any disinterested repair
man will tell you, how-
ever, that, judged solely
by the way it is built, the
Hupmobile is really
a ﬁne car at a low price.

"The Farm Paper of Service "

ADJUST PRODUCTION TO DEMAND

“FARMERS have just as much right to
organize to control their output as

union labor has ,to organize for the
purpose of shortening hours and increasing
wages. Thcy have as much right to cease
production wholly or in part as union labor
has to strike. It is no more wrong for
farmers to reduce products when prices are
below cost of production than it is for the
United States Steel Corporation to cut pig
iron production in half when prices are
rapidly falling."—H. A. “'allace, in a re-
cent addrcss. -

 

THE FARMER IS A BUSINESS MAN

EPORTS of the success met by the acreage
men of the sugar factories in Michigan who
have adopted the now famous “50-50” con-

tract by which the farmer becomes a co-partner
of the factory, in the proﬁts derived from the
manufacture and sale of beet sugar, seems to
prove the fact which The Business Farmer has
reiterated so many times; that the farmer is
not afraid to take every risk which the business
man in any other line will, if he is given an
equal chance at the proﬁts.

There is, of course, the possibility that every-
thing possible will be done this fall by the, manu-
facturers who have refused to enter into the
growers contract, to discourage its further prac-
tice, even'if they ﬁnd it necessary to curtail
their own proﬁts by lowering the price of sugar
to do it.

Let every grower who‘has signed the “50—50”
contract, pledge himself to stand by the plan
for three years—win or lose—~if he will, we
risk the prediction, that before the three years
have elapsed, every manufacturer in Michigan
will have offered the same or a more attractive
proposition to the growers.

When you hear a man knocking the “50-50”
contract, ask him how long he’s been on the
other follows “pay-r011”, its a safe bet he is
there, one way or another!

NOW ADVISES PARTICIPATION IN LEAGUE
HEY do President Harding and the present
Republican administration an injustice who
seek to poke fun at-the recent announce-
ment that the president and Secretary Hughes
ar“’e about to stump the country in favor of par-
ticipation in the World Court of the League of
Nations, as did Woodrow W'ilson, only a few
‘years back. 7 s 1
Better late than never! And far better for
the United States, leader of civilization, that
we accept our responsibility and contribute our
strength to a plan which has for its foundation,

at least, the abolishment of wholesale slaughter'

’3 of human beings, in the avowed cause ‘of patriot-
ism, to settle disputes bteween nations. ‘
What matters it now, if in the heat of partisan

_f_.po'litics our eyes were clouded by the smoke-

},’screen of propaganda, three years ago? What
‘Imatters it whether Democrat or Republican is
.toyrbe' given the credit of helping to form the
League? What matters anything under" Gods
~ heaven, when the Question is whethe'r it is pos-
V‘sihl‘euto prevent so fruitless a butchery of

nations with thousands cronies" of, L
as w'itnesswthe United States and Canada, live in

peace, why cannot the nations onﬁthis old 
live in peace? But you say, families, cominuni-
ties, states “and nations have. disputes to settle——
surely, but the individual who kills to settle a
dispute is a. murderer and the nation which kills
to attain the same result is no less. a murderer
and should be so appraised in the eyes of the
world. -

That is the reason for the World Court and
the League of Nations is simply the power, the
police force, to enforce the mandates and the
punishments prescribed by the court.

Let those who will scoff at President Harding
and the apparent turn—about—face of his admini-
stration to the policies proposed by Woodrow
Wilson, have their ﬂing. As for TheBusiness
Farmer, although steadfast in our belief in the
League of Nations, as the best step out of the

I

pit-fall of future wars, we would rather see/the ,

United States go in whole-heartedly and with
the unanimous approval of our people now, than
three years ago, with the mind of the press and
the public so divided. '

It takes a braver man to admit he was wrong,
than it does to ﬁght blindly on, altho knowing
he is wrong! ,\ I -

A WISE APPOINTMENT

RESIDENT HARDING has appointed Charles
Townsend, retiring senator from Michigan,
to the chairmanship of the joint—committee

which cooperates with the Canadian government
in the control of interrelations between the two
great nations of the North American continent.

The: zealots who have-fought and fostered the

Great Lakes—to-Ocean plan, have thus taken new
heart, because they believed the last election
which deprived them of Senator Townsend as
the leader in their ﬁght, was a staggering blow
to the rapid progress the plan had been making
during the past few years.

The new position gives Mr. Townsend even a

more direct point' of advantage and citizens of

Michigan and the whole northwest, who are so,

vitally concerned over the early consumation of
this great project will commend the president
on his wise selection and appointment.

COUN TERFEIT MONEY

_ HE secret service has very recently
unearthed the most daring and extensive
operations of counterfeiters ever discovered

in the United States. The operations of this
gang have extended from coast to coast and it
has been in operation for almost six months un«
checked, While the government slueths have been
attempting to reach the master—minds behind the
gigantic scheme. When the net was ﬁnally com-
plete, a campaign of arrests was begun which is

expected to enmesh a thousand persons, men and ‘

women in all parts of America.

Most of the money has been in large\sized bills,
principally of $20 denomination. A greater part
of it was passed through the illicit whiskey ring.
but naturally found its way into countless hands.

Sooner or later a part of this money will
reach the rural districts, it therefore might not
be bad, advice to suggest, that you have your
banker look over any considerable amount of
currency you are receiving. ’

A “NEW” CONTINENT DISCOVERED

springs up in your mind? Roaring lions,
charging elephants, crouching tigers or

brace you! Or should not one of these animals
get,you, from the rank jungle, hideously painted
cannibals brandishing feathery shields and poi-
soned spears, leap forward to impale you for
their evening meal!

Is that your Africa? We confess that it was
ours until the very recent few weeks while we
haIve been following the traveler Newman from
Cape .Town to Carlo, which would be somewhat
similar to traveling from Panama to Hudson
Bay in our own continent. '

From the spot where Stanley found Living-
stone, then in the midst of a wilderness as you
remember it described in your, geography, mo—
tion pictures (which‘cannot lie or exaggerate

'as the Marco Polo’s 'of old were inclined) show

a railway station, giant steamships and in the

back-ground the tall stalks of the copper min:
' ing companies. 4 '

Copper, gold, zinc, tin, and radium mines that

lwill rival the better known diamond :ﬁelds fu'r- "

ther to the south, in their output of wealth, now
are developing the heart of Africa. The ﬁerce

What, open space for ‘the' teeming millions "of 
.China, india, Japan and‘Enrope to migrate so..-

and bring into productiveness. Here is a great
continent, once the very— cradle, of civilization,
which is almost as undeveloped to-day as was

‘ North  before the war of the Million.

It may occur to you, too, as you read this

that some of our allies in~the great war, knew'

something of all this when they divided up Ger-
man South Africa. among themselves.
Belgium acquired in Africa is twenty times the
area of the mother country in Europe. The
copper mines Which Great Britain acquired will
produce probably more than all ,7 of the copper
mines in America combined, and at a cost .of
production which may threaten our on copper
in the worlds market. ‘ _ 
Africa. beckons to the adventurous youth of the
world, as once did America, and the same type"
of sturdy pioneers are hearing her call. -

 

STATE INSTRUCTION FOR MOTHERS

 you know that 145 babies out of
L ' every thousand born in one county in
will know why the women leaders in Michigan
are backing the Bohn bill, which ratiﬁes the ac-
ceptance by the state of the funds provided from
the national treasury by the Sheppard—Towner
act, for the purpose of instructing prospective-
mothers.

. If the bill passes the state will- contribute
$29,000 which will be met with a similar sum
from the national treasury. In every county in
Michigan one or more nurses will be provided
to help lower the mother and child death-rate.

If there is any possible way in which the
state and nation can repay the mother for risk-

in Michigan died at birth last year, you_

'ing her, life to furnish its life-blood, thenrlot’

that means to be speedily provided regardless of
the cost. There is a time when dollars lose
their signiﬁcance only as a means to an end.
This is one of the times! — _

THE “HIRED” HELP

AVE you, father, ever been called a "hired
man”? Or have you, mother, ever came
suddenly into the dining room to hear your
mistress telling her guests that you were their
“new hired girl”? ,
If you have ever worked in either capacity
for someone else, this little message will not be
intended for you. It will not be necessary to

simple words have when they come to your cars
for the ﬁrst time, and you realize that you are
a “hired man" or a “hired girl”.

This message is to the mothers and fathers
of growing children, who are in circumstances

which permit them to employ extra help on their,

farm, whether in the home or in the. ﬁelds. It
is a plea for the abolition" of the hated words
“hired man" and “hired girl” from the vocab-
ulary of every farm home.

Learn to speak of yOur employed help as your
“assistants”——explain it to your children that the
work is too heavy .for mother or father and that
"John" Or “Clara”, have come to assist you with
your work. Teach your children to respect
those who are helpinguyou and you will be sur-
prised at the result. '

In 'the ﬁrst place, you will ﬁnd it easy to keep
better employees. There is something so un-
American and akin to slavery, about the hated
terms "hired man”, “hired girl”, or “servant”
that no intelligent and self—respecting American
will remain in a place where it or the attitude

' which means the same thing are continually ex-

pressed in word or action. .

There are no “servants” in. Americaytha'nk
God! Servant, means servile, and, we free citi-
zens of this great ropublic,all of us, except the
parasite and the loafer, are all helpers, Cooper-

ating, assisting one another; no matter what

our position be in societies stratus.

Our large manufacturing cities

Where wealth is concentrated, are
paying millions of dollars in large
salaries to people who pay no taxes,
but who own and operate large and
expensive cars and the tax on real
estate must build their roads and
schools for their children, they rent
city. homes, and the city land lord
gets back at them for his high tax
by boosting his rents. The farmer
has no way of getting back at any
one.

There is only one war to help the
farmer, that is to relieve him of

_ some of the burden he is now hear-

ing in heavy taxes, and until our
national government takes over the
roads, our state should take some
action at once. There is a way to
relieve the real estate tax, which no
honest person can robject to. Put a
tax of 4 per cent on the selling price
of all autoes trucks and vans of all
kinds as well as on motor cycles.
etc. Thison the selling price when
new, then make a reduction of 10
per cent for depreciation for each
year the vehicle is run, for ﬁve years,
after that tax it for 50 per cent of its
value new as long as it is run. This
4 per cent could be increased or de-
creased as‘the times may require,
but at present some of the real estate
is paying 7 per cent on an inﬂated
valuation set by out State Tax Com-
\mission at a time that was pre—ma-
ture for such. an act, and he is not
allowed 10 per cent on his property
each year for ‘ depreciation. The
government is offering him a. Federal

' Loan, but that is like knocking a per-

son in-the head with a club and then
selling him a plaster.

The 'only relief to any one stagger-
ing under a heavy load is take part
of the load from him. Remember

nilssns SERMON
EAR Editor:
reading M. B. F. for two years

and like“ it very much, we ﬁnd '

lots of information in it too- The
only thing we miss is a scripture text,
Sermon. We out here in thelwoods
feel rather lonesome on account of
not having church preveliges.

In reading our M. B. F. we also
enjoy “What the Neighbors Say” and
it is indeed a pitty that we as people
of our good America can not cooper-
ate together. Where is the democ-
racy of our good U. S. A. going to?
Our Government is ever ready to ﬁx
a price on Farmers Products, as dur-
ing the war to cut the high cost of
living, but the consumer had to pay
very near the same old price for his
flour as before. Now today the
farmer has to sell his stuff at a. sac-
riﬁce, but who is gaining by it; sure-
ly not the consumer? For instance,
cattle that farmers sell, from ,3 to 6
cents per pound, how much do con-
sumers in cities pay for their beef in
butchershops? Who gets the proﬁt,
surely not the farmer and the con-
sumer!

Why can’t we see the pure fabric
law passed? The “all-wool” gar-
ments we buy nowadays don’t last at
all, the best that can be made out of
pure virgin wool would be none too
good for the consumer.
to pass by all means. ,

Now they talk of reducing the
taxes, but we farmers have to pay
more every year, how about it? Our
government should adopt “Single
Tax” (Canadian style) so farmers
Would not have to pay a “ﬁne” every
time they improve their Farms.
Farmers are all anxious to sell out
and move to the city. The boys have
gone already, who is going to product
the nation’s grub in the future under
such conditions if this city move can
not be stopped? Why can we as a
nation not take an example from
Europe? It has gone to the dogs
just because of oppressing the poor.
We read in Luke 13:1-3, “There
were present at that season some
that told Him of the Galleans, whose
blood Pilate had mingled with their
sacriﬁces ‘ ‘ ‘ and Jesus answering
said unto them, ‘Suppose ye that
these Galileans were sinners above
all Galileans, because they suffered
such things? I tell you nay; ut
except ye repent, ye shall all likew1se
perish.’ " The judgement of God
has come upon the old countries, and

will unfailingly come upon us unless, ‘

we repent. The heavy tax burdens

have to go or we farmers of America
will not much longer be able to pro-
duce stuff to live. May God guide
our leaders and keep our country
from disaster. If not, judgement
will come as we read in James 5:1-6,
“Go now, ye rich men, weep and howl
for your miseries that shall come up-
on you. Your riches are corrupted
and your garments are moth-eaten.
Your gold and silver is cankered;
and the rust of them shall be a wit-
ness against you, and shall eat your
ﬂesh as it were ﬁre. Ye have heaped
treasurer together for the last days
behold, the hire of the laborers who
have reaped down your ﬁelds, which
is of you kept back by fraud, crieth;
and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of
the Lord of Sabaeth. Ye have lived
in pleasure on the earth and been
wanton; ye have nourished your
hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye
have condemned and killed the just;
and he does not resist you.” We
have felt it our duty to write these
words, may the Lord bless them to
his glory.—C. S., Oscoda County.

THE FARMERS’ TROURLEH )V-

HE woes of our farmers are chief-'
ly due to the same cause that
has deranged our... coal mining

industry. To many are in the
game, causing overproduction. The
great rise in theprice of land, which
has doubled, and in some cases trebl-
ed and quadrupled, in the last ten
years, proves this. If the poor and
remote farms and mines (which com-
:prise over one-ﬁfth of the total) were
«abandoned, it would encourage the
others'to produce to capacity. insur-
ing bigger crops at lower cost. and it »
would release a lot of first class labor

‘ \
I-NCE the creation of the world
and man’s inhabitance upon the
earth, the ﬁrst clothing worn

zatSion, those wild animals that bear

.are very fast becoming extinct, and
today the trapper must of necessny,
look elsewhere for proﬁtable income.
Furs of all species are in constant
demand throughout the whole world.
I believe no other industry in this
'NorthWest country promises such
proﬁtable returns as may be realized
from the domestication of fur bear-
" nimals.
mgl ashall speak principally of the
demestication and production of the
standard bred silver fox flur. Th1s
fur, exclusive of the Russ1an sable,
which cannot successfully be‘raised
in the United States, is of a distinct—
ive class, and cannot be successfully
imitated. For this reason its pelt lS
capable of procuring very proﬁtable
results for the rancher. . ,
Silver and black foxes are clasS1ﬁed
into four distinct types, depending on
the quantity of silver tipped guard
hairs present in the, pelt. The
classes are designated as black, .dark
silver, medium silver and light Silver.
All types are necessary on the aver—
age ranch. The demand at present
is for dark and medium pelts and
these are produced largely by_ mat-
ing black animals with light Silvers.

Muéh care and thought is given to V

the mapping out of a deﬁnite breed—

ing program on the large ranches.
Most of the northern states are ad-

mirably adapted for fox raismg. The

- humid, cool atmosphere in the north—

ern states makes a dense, dark pel-
age on fur animals that always com-
mands top prices in the fur markets.
In addition, the entire region poss—
esses a wealth of lakes, marshes and
rocky, hilly, timbered lands unﬁt for
cultivation, but furnishing unequall-
ed sites for the prospective fur farm-

er.
Early, breeders thougl‘t that foxes.

would not do well in captivity unless
ranched in secluded spots. This has
been disproved by the phenomenal
successes of American ranchers, most
of whom operate in thickly settled
communities. It would, of course be
inadvisable to build a ranch immed-
iately adjacent M a large factory
along railroad or trolley tracks or in
the heart of a city. Ranches may
be built on the outskirts of villages
and towns, along rural highways or
within a reaSonable distance of farm
buildings without danger of creating
unfavorable conditions. \

The chosen ranch site should, ﬁrst
of all, be. carefully considered from
the drainage standpoint. Fox pens
should be erected on a well-drained
piece of high land.‘ Foxes will not
do well in aswampy hallow, where
the soil stays damp for long periods.
Disease breeds readily in dampuloca-
tions of this character. Clay or
heavy black loam top—soil should be
avoided. If possible, \choose a loca—
tion with a clay subsoil and a gravel
or sand top—soil.

Many ranchers make the mistake
of placing too much stress on the
shade requirements of a fox farm
site. Proper soil and drainage are
and should be foremost. Some of
the most successful ranchers have
discovered that foxes kept in pens
erected in the open have been re—
markably free from disease. This is
undoubtedly due to the fact that dis—
ease, germs cannot exist in soil sub—
jest to the direct burning rays of the
sun. -

Considering the value of the ani-
mals, guard fences, pens and kennels
are comparatively inexpensive.

lumber left in the rough or of the
best, carefully ﬁtted and painted. In
building a large ranch it will pay to
lessen depreciation by using high
grade materials. Wire should al-
ways be the best obtainable.

The size and shape of breeding and
rearing pens differ considerably ac—
cording to the area and physical
characteristics of the site. The di-
mensions of pens very from 90 feet
in length by 30 feet in width to 30
feet in length by 10 feet in width.
Height depends on the average snow—
fall. The pen should be high enough
to permit an average sized man to
walk around in same without stoop-
ing. Allowance must be made for
depth of snow.

In some ranches pens are laid end
to end and side by side across the
ranch, pens and alleys detached or
separated by alleys from two to ten
feet in ’width.

A successful breeder has experi—
mented with various types of fox
kennels or dens. After giving them
thorough and conscientious trials he
has found that a simple double ken-
nel with separate entrances will suf-
ﬁce. The remarkable record of 2 1-2
to 3 1-2 pups average to the pair on
his ranches would indicate that his
adopted style of kennel is far super—
ior to any other.

His kennels are double walled and
are placed on a block foundation two
or three inches from the ground, thus
insuring warmth and dryness. The
roof is hinged and serves as a lid.
The kennel is divided into two separ-
ate compartments with covered chute
entrances approximately four feet
long inclining from the kennel open—
ing to the ground.

The breeding season on the fox
ranch lasts from late January to
March. The gestation period is ap-
proximately ﬁfty-one days. This
period, together with the early rear-
ing or pupping season, constitutes
the most critical time of the year on
the fox ranch.

As a rule, the animals are mono—
gamous, the dog rarely mating with
more than .one female. Segregated
pairs must be carefully watched dur-
ing the breeding season. and if har—
mony does not prevail, the Vixens are
paired with new mates, the object
being to produce a litter of fox pup-
pies in every den if possible.

The litter ranges in numbers from
one to nine, the average on many
of the ranches being 2 1—2 to 3 1—2
which is remarkable. Males are
left with the mother and young. They
take care of their share of the par—
ental duties and are absolutely nec-
essary in the pen for the ﬁrst few
days after the young are born, as the
vixen relies largely on her mate to
carry food to her.

Fox puppies are blind for the ﬁrst
two weeks of their existance. They
grow rapidly and usually appear out—
side the kennel when one month old.
Within a short time they learn to lap
milk from a basin and when two
months old include solid foods in
their diet. The mother fox will
wean them when three months old.
Fox puppies attain sufﬁcient size and
fuality of pelt by the ﬁrst of Decem-
ber following the month in which
they were born that they may be
pelted at that time.

Even if the price of breeding stock
be brought to one—half or'less of its
present level, and pelts bring only
$100 apiece, there will be left enough
proﬁt to make the industry worth

, while.

An open invitation is extended by
many breeders during the summer
months, to visit their ranches. Some
raise, besides hundreds of pairs of
silver foxes, deer, buffalo, raccoon,
wolves, different species of birds, and
German police dogs. '

EAR Niece’s and Nephews: Did
you ever hear of a tree called
the “cow tree?” There is such
a tree and it grows in South America
on the broad barren plateaus of‘Ven-
ezuela. 'The sap of this tree re-
sembles milk both in taste and ap-
pearance, and, is not only wholesome

naturalists who have examined it.
It is said to be not very dinerent
from rich cream aside from a slight
balsamic ﬂavor. The trees often
grow to a height or one hundred
feet and have no branches within less
than eighty feet of the ground. The

If a hole is boredor any sort of a
wound made on the bark, the milk-
like ﬂuid will commence to ﬂow and
continue for days until it coagulates
at the mouth of the wound and forms
a waxy substance which prevents
further flow. I would like to see
one of these trees, wouldn't you?'——-
UNCLE NED.

 

OUR GIRLS AND BOYS

Dear Uncle and Cousins: I wrote
a letter last fall, and seeing it in
print, I thought I would write again.
When I wrote Iask the boys and
girls to guess if I was a boy or a girl.
by my name, Leslie. I said it they
guessed correctly I would write them
a long letter. I received about. ﬁf—
teen answers of.which some were
right and some were not. . I am now
corresponding with ﬁve or six of
them. Well, as my friend and I want
go skiing I will close with a few rid-
dles. How many peas in a pint?
Answer: One p. What is the com—
monest put-up job you know of?
Answer: Paper on the wall. Why
does a tall man eat less than a short
one? Answer: Because he makes a
, little go a long way. What kind of
a cape does a prisioner like best?
Answer: Es cape. Where can all the
Words of our last foolish conversa—
tion be found? Answerz’ In a. die--
tionary. Patch upon patch and has
seams. Answer: Cabbage. Well I
guess it is too late to go skiing now.
so I guess I will close for sure. Your

Dear Uncle Ned: I was out to my
grandpa’s Feb. 19th and got inter-
ested in reading the Children's Hour
in M. B. F. This ‘is the ﬁrst time I
have ever written you a letter. I am
twelve years of age and in the sixth
grade. I have six blocks to go to
school and live right on the river
bank. I have two sisters, one eleven
years old and the other four years
old. How many Valc .Itine- did you
get? I got between one and twelve,
and the one that guesses how many
I got I will write a letter to. We
just posted our Africa. maps and are
about .to take up the study of Aus-
tralia. My father is the general
delivery groceryman in St. Louis. I
use to live one a farm one mile and
half west of Forrest Hill. We had
sixty acres of land, and believe me
we used to raise crops. We have a
"farm two miles south of Elm Hall
now but I live in St. Louis. My dad
has a different car or farm nearly
every day. Well I guess I had bet—
ter close for this time—Clayton J.
Anderson, St. Louis, Michigan.

 

Dear Uncle Ned: I see by the M. B.
F. that I am not the only silent read-
er of your paper. My father is a.
reader and subscriber of the M. B. F.
and likes it real well, especially the
article about Henry Ford. I thought
Iwouldwrlteetewlinee tonightasl

I just Wonder if this letter will es—
cape the waste basket. I don’t see
many letters in the M. B. F. from

Springtime—etime of love an’ every-

Yes, even in our life time, winter
is not so bad. Look with me if you

white hair that shames the snow—
drifts but with a smile that matches
the ﬂowers of spring. Yes, they are
in the Winter of life, and could make
.it somber an’ very disagreeable “but
they don’t. God bless the man or
woman, with silver-white hair that
still sees the “sunshine of life—~that
sees the beauty of it all—those who
have sympathy for, an’ mingles with
the young. To them there can be no
real winter—there is no winter to
any of us unless we look through
gray an’ wint’ry eyes. Oh yes, my
friends, I love the springtime ’cause
everything speaks of new life; but I

THE TRUTH ABOUT HENRY FORD
(Continued from page 9.)
Mrs. Edison and Mrs. Ford" are to
be the only two women on this ex—

ecutive memorial board.

At the beginning of the European
war Mrs. Ford leased Oughtrington
Hall, in Chestshire Township, Eng-

. land, a short distance from War—

wick, where her mother was born.
She equipped it as a home for Bel-
gian refugees;_one h'undred at a
‘time were clothed, fed and sheltered
there. As they found friends, rel—
atives or work was secured from
the London clearing house. Teach-
ers were employed for the children;
a school room was furnished: out-
door tennis courts v’fere covered and
heated for a supervised playground.
Tailoring and other trades were
taught, the refugees. Among themp
'was a Catholic priest, and a. chapel
Was equipped in which he said mass
and held other services. Wonderful
- results were accomplished, as is at—
letters and documents
from the” Lord Mayor and others.‘
After the armistice the furniture

" J i and equipment; Were sold and the

proceeds placed with the Manchester
‘ - efFun‘d toabzut‘ised- by

‘ goodness, makes her immensely pop-

V_December 31 the exchange had an
maturing capital ‘or $31,000 and a

  Simon. is inscribed:  um"
~ pan-is nannies et Carats.”

Mrs. Ford’s most intimate friends
are those she knew ’ingirlhood or
before the advent; of automobiles.
Her poise and culture, her innate

ular. Her judgement and clear in-
tellect have been of" untold value to
her gifted husband. Their ideal
home life is a. happy demonstration

that love does not dwell only in a ‘

cottage. The following incidents
somewhat indicates her tastes. '
Shortly before the holidays in
1920, while she was .shopping in
New York, the clerk of a Fifth Ave-
nue shop aSke'd her to inspect the

Duke of Hamilton’s silver service.

It; weighed seventeen hundred
pounds, and was heavily. crestedn‘ “It
had been sold to a young mid-west-
ern manufacturer to match his din-
ing-room set, also purchased from
the Duke’s estate. ‘fWould Mrs.
Ford care to place an order for
similar silver?” .  '

She has a vivacious and cordial
smile. “I have no ambition to col—
lect heirlOoms of royalty,” she re-
plied. “My resources are needed
elsewhere.”

The undau-nted clerk produced a
short string of pearls, each as large
as a hazel nut. “Only a half mil-
lion dollars,” he urged suavely, as
he laid them on the black velvet
square to accent their creamy sheen
and luster.

Mrs. ’Ford shook her head. "At
home I have the ﬁnest jewels in the
world," she remarked, as she con—
cluded her purchases. “Nothing
you have on sale can equal them.”

The Fords have a son; his home
is ten miles east of Detroit, in
Grosse Pointe on-Lake Sainte Claire,
near the point where it joins the
Detroit River. The Henry’ Ford
estate is ten miles west of the city
on. the Rouge, which also ﬂows into
the Detroit River. A private tele-
phone wire connects Mr. Ford’s,
study with, his son’s; a private wire
connects Mrs. Ford’s bedroom with
the sleeping porch of her grand-
children, Henry II and Edsel junior,
chubby, golden—haired, blue—eyed
cherubs. 'Like the Athenian mother,
Mrs. Ford says: “These are my
jewels.” -

 

THE FARMERS’ TROUBLE—OV-
PRODUCTION
(Continued from Page 16.)
of farmers and increases the number
and buying power of farmers’ cus-
tomers. Any substantial reduction
of freight rates can be made (until
we have government ownership)
only by bankrupting the roads of
beggaring their employes. Lending
money or giving credit to nations
,whose credit is exhausted to enable
them to buy our surplus is practically
making them a present of it. If our
lawmakers really want to get our
farmers more money for their creps,
several nations have lately .shown
them a sure way to do so. The Jap—
anese government, by taking control
of the silk crop, has nearly doubled
the price of raw silk in two years.
Brazil has done the samething with
coffee. England is now doing like—
wise with rubber and tea. As this
country takes 75 per cent of silk,
coffee, and rubber that these nations
exporf, and they in turn take most
of our surplus wheat, cotton, etc., it
wouldn’t seem unfair if‘our govern—
ment, by taking control, made them
pay enough for our wheat and cotton,
at least, to give our farmers a slight
margin of proﬁt—J. Tierney, Illinois

FARMERS’ EXCHANGE SHOWS

the narrow strip of land separating
Chesapeake“ Bay from the Atlantic
Ocean, has built up a business that

ERTILIZERS are used to increase
crops and proﬁts. The right kinds «.
and amounts of plant food make proﬁts 3
by reducing the cost of production of a
unit of crop, by improving the quality,
and by increasing the yield.
One-sided fertilizers may be unproﬁt-
able. Today Potash is the cheapest
ingredient used in fertilizers, even
cheaper than before the war.

If one Wishes to increase the number
of units of plant food in a fertilizer,
German Potash will do it for the least
money, and at the same time balance
the other ingredients so that the value
of them may be more fully secured.
For GRAIN and CORN use a fertilizer

with 6 to 8 per cent of Potash; for root
crops and truck use 10 per cent.

It is always safe to use at least as much
Potash as Phosphoric Acid.

r'nou m. BALLAD on'nnsnme
anon r.*

By Oscar '"Wilde.

N Debtor’s Yard the stones ar
’- .hard, . - ”
And the dripping wall is high,

_ So it was there he took ‘he air
Beneath the leaden sky, '
And by each side a Warder walked,
For fear the man might die.

1" II It
Or else he sat with those who watch-
, ed .
His anguish night and day;
V’Who watched him when he rose to
weep,
And when he crouched to pray;

Who watched him, lest himself
should rob
Their scaffold of it’s prey:
II t s
For oak and elm have pleasant

leaves

That in the spring-time shoot;
But grim to see is gallows—tree,
With it’s adder—bitten root,
And, green, or dry a man must die
Before it bears it’s fruit. ‘

Ill # 1|
It is sweet to dance to violins
When Love and Life are fair;
To dance to ﬂutes, to dance to lutes
Is delicate and rare;
But it is not sweet with nimble feet
To dance upon the air.

3 t t
I know not whether Laws be right,
Or whether Laws be wrong;
All that we know who lie in gaol
Is that each day is like a year,
A year whose days are long.

SI # It
The vilest deeds like poison weeds
Bloom Well in prison air;
It is only what is good in man
That wastes and withers there;
Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate,
And the Warder is Dispair.

 

“’OMEN HAVE MUCH TO LEARN
HE editor of this page recently
T had an interview with former
Senator Eva M. Hamilton of
Grand Rapids. She says that wo-
men have much to learn in politics,
that, “In the ﬁrst place they do not
back each other as they should, that
they allow personal feelings to come
in and befog the issue, that women
are much inclined to be jealous of
each other in politics and it being a
new game in the hand of amatuers
an unseemly scramble for honors is
the result.”

This desire to be the standard
bearer among the women active in
politics and the quite general indif-
ference of the majority of women
does leave much to be desired and
yet a review of the bills that have
been passed thru womens efforts and
the constructive legislation that is
under consideration gives the stud-
ent of these matters much hope.

From its organization, the Nation—
al League of Women Voters has be-
lieved in and worked for the removal
of' all unfair discriminations against
women, under the law. In less than
three years, sixty-three laws in
twenty-six states have been secured
to this end, largely through League
effort. The greatest single federal
disability left after women were giv-
en the franchise, has been removed
and the citizenship of married women
made as independent of marriage as
is the citizenship of men.

The League believes in, and works
for, also, protective legislation which
the experience of the world has
shown to be needed for the good, not
of women only, but of the race. Be—
cause we believe that women need a
kind of protection which men do not
need, we have worked for minimum
wage laws, mothers’ pensions, the
8—hour day for women in industry,
the Sheppar—Towner law, and other
measures necessary to safe—guard
the future physical well—being of the
race through proper consideration
for potential mothers. '

If you are interested in the work
that the National League of Women
Voters is doing write to the head-
quarters, 25 Traction Building, Peru,
Indiana, for pamphlets telling of it’s
work. Write for Speciﬁc Bills for
vSpeciﬁc Ills and enclose 10c. 'It is

two very wonderftil expressions of
the English language. Pilgrim’s
Progress written by John Bunyan a
saintly man and the above mentioned
ballad written by a man in which the
low and the high struggled for mast-
ery, Oscar Wilde, of unquestionable
literary ability but who was convict-
ed of a moral crime and served two
years in a penitentiary.

When one remembers that in 1921
there were committed in the city of
Detroit alone 100 murders one’s
sence of justice cries out for the
supreme penalty but when one reads
clear thru, The Ballad of Reading
Gaol a horror of legalized murder
grips the soul, and one is inclined to
be glad that the record of our State
has been against it since 1847.

TEACH INDEPENDENCE

WONDER if I dare to call myself
I a thotful mother, so as to take

part in the discussion of your
question. Anyway, I have three
children, and it seems to me that I
think several times a day. Will that
do? ‘

It is my ﬁrm conviction that chil- '

dren ought always to be told the
reason for rules,-or helped to ﬁnd the
reason.

I ﬁgure it out like this: If I have
not a good sound reason for any rule
or request, then that rule or request
is unreasonable. If I try to enforce
it I am an unreasonable mother.

On the other hand, if I have a good
sound reason for any rule or request,
I can develop the child’s reasoning
power by helping him to ﬁnd the

reason. And well developed reason—
ing power results in a reasonable
child.

All too soon our children must
leave us to begin manifesting what‘

we have taught them. If they are
not taught to reason while 'in our
care, they must,» learn by bitter ex-
perience later on. If children were
horses and parents could always hold
the lines we might say “Whoa, back,
gee, haw, giddap.” They would have
to obey “Because I say so.” But

children are not horses, and parents ,

cannot always hold the lines.

I am acquainted with three fami-
lies who grew up under that'sort of
discipline. After a while the guid-
ing hand dropped the lines. ‘ * ‘S

The Ones who were gifted with
horse sense knew they cOuld only
pull, while someone else drove. They
are self—supporting.

The ones who lacked horse sense
believed that after a lifetime of pull-
ing, they could new drive, and tell
someone else just how to pull; They
will end their days in the poor house.

SOMETHING FRESH
From a youthful writer of very ten-
der years, comes an article published
in the London Morning Post, called,
“The Advantages and Disadvantages
of Novel-Reading.” Read it and

smile once more. a
S ly with regard to the reading of
novels there are a good many
different kinds of novels, such as 1d.,
2d., 4d., 6d. I do not think there is
much harm in reading novels if you
read them at the right time, and do
not spend to much money on them,
which is sometimes the case. The.
Waverly novels,‘for instance, are not
at all bad books if read at the proper
time. The great fault of some peo-
ple are that they are. always reading
novels, and of Course the more they
read the more they want. I think
it is not right to read a novel on Sun—
days; it is just as much harm as
playing, because it generally gives
great pleasure to the mind. The
great harm of reading novels are to
be careful not to follow them. Novels
do not increase your learning much,
but does sometimes decrease it. I
think it is about the worst thing any
schoolboy could have in the way of
books and 4d. novel it generally does
a lot of harm. Tom Jones was a
very good novel and was written by
a very good novelist. George was
also a great novelist who died but a
short time ago. '

BOUGHT A OONUVIUNITY CANNED».

IVE farm women in Bates
county have provided full
shelves of canned fruit and

vegetables for their families at a
minimum outlay of time and labor
according to extension specialists at
the Missouri College of Agriculture.

At the beginning of the canning
season last summer these women,
following the suggestion of their
home economics agent, bought a
s'iam pressure canner, a supply of
tin cans and a can sealer. Through
the co-operative ownership and op-
eration of this equipment all kinds
of food have been preserved, in the
safest and easiest way and the cost
to any one family has been ca‘mpar— -
atively small. - '

HOW TO CURE YOURSELF

B
DR. T. N. ROGERS

 

 

CANCER
ANGER is not a local disease or
a blooddisease but a constitu-
tional one. Coming on very
slowly and insiduously. Diet has
very much to _do with it, and diet
has more to do with it’s cure than
anything else. Cancer and rheuma-
tism are very often associates. Most
cancer gives history or rheumatism.
The one big factor is diet. The blood
in rheumatism and cancer show al-
most the same conditions. .
Preventative Measures

Eat very little meat. However,
I consider starchy foods more harm—
ful than meat as they produce an
acid condition or an acidosis. The
ordinary breakfast foods are indi—
gestible and 'so ferment in the stom—
ach especially when boiled. Baking
or roasting is much better for any
starchy food. White bread as bak—
er’s bread Should not be eaten with
meat. The meat takes three hours
to get out of the stomach and by
this time the starch in the bread is
fermented and throws out or forms
acids which are .poison. We call this
Toxemic poisoning. This. irritates
the stomach causing catarrh, then
ulcers, or cancer. ** The poison may be
carried to other parts of the body
and produces a condition of the tiss—
ues which lowers the vitality and fav-
ors the formation of cancer.

Increase of Cancer

Cancer has increased 30% in 20
years. Cold storage foods, meat and
vegetables create too much acid in
the body and so breed germs which
cause cancer. V The public taste for
such food is increasing every where,
also the habit of eating meat in
large quantities.

’ CONSTIPATION
cause constipation and the colon
becomes clogged and a seed bed

of disease. The safeguard is a re—

formed diet of nutritious and natural
foods, fruit, cereals and vegetables
well cooked.

‘ Test the saliva with blue litmus

paper yourself and if the paper turns

' CERTAIN foods impr0perly cooked

red you are on the road to trouble. 7

Better stop and make a fresh start,
out down the starch, sugar and meat
and cut out coffee, drink plenty of
water, eat only two meals a day for
a while and fast one day each week.

CURE FOR EAR-ACRE

Having received so much help
from your paper I want to do my
share. I enjoy every page of the
M. B. F. and am anxious for it to
come. I will send my remedy for
ear-ache.

My little girl of nine was bothered
with gatherings in her ears and suf—
fered very much. After using this
remedy she was entirely cured. Take
a cotton cloth, double it and wet it
put it in on onion out ﬁne and one—
half as much tobacco. I used Peer-
less. Tie cloth in a sack shape and
lay in hot ashes until the onions are
cooked, squeeze out juice and put in
ear. It acts at once. I press out
all the'juice I can and keep it fer
another time.~ Just warm it a little.

to have on hand such a valuable medicine

Row-Kare in the feed not only PREVENTS
these diseases, but greatly

"Since I have been on the County Farm.
I have been using Kow-Kare in the dairy
for the last ten years. I have 62 cows. My
( .perience is that a few dollars' worth of
Row-Kare saves us a great -many dollars’
worth of veterinary bills, and also every new
in the dairy that I feed it to produces more
all the year thru because of the Row-Kare. I
have no sick cows or, trouble. when I begin
feeding Kow-Kare, from the ﬁrst of January
until I turn them out in- the Spring."

Winter feeds are so much harder on ﬁe
digestive and milk making organs of the
cow that the vitality of these functions is
sure to become impaired unless nature is
assisted. Kow-Kare is designed primarily
to strengthen these very organs so that they
may throw off disease and keep up the nor-
mal milk production. ,

MIXTURE OF BEANS AND OATS

. UNPALA'I‘ABLE

Would like to feed cull beans and
cats to milk cows. Would like to
know how many pounds of oats to a.
hundred pounds of beans, to make a
good ration for milk cows,
ground .together.—-'-C. Q., Marion,
Mich. ~
——We are feeding the following ra-
tion to some of the cows in the col-
lege herd at the present time: 500
pounds of oats and beans ground to-
gether, 300 pounds of hominy, 100
pounds of ground corn and 100
pounds of gluten feed.

This ration as you will notice,
contains 25 per cent ground beans.

in equal amounts. This ration seems
to be a fairly satisfactory one for
diary cows. If only beans and cats
are going to be fed, I would recom—
mend that equal parts of beans and
oats be ground together for feed-
ing. The percentage of beans in a.
ration of this kind, would, of course,
be affected by the kind of roughage
fed to the cows. I do not like your
grain ration, consisting of just beans

‘lng too many beans to the cow. I
think you will ﬁnd that a mixture
of just beans and cats in this pro-
portion rather unpalatable as the
cows have a dislike for the ground
beans—J. E. Burnett, Asso.-Prof.
of Dairy Husbandry, M. A. C.

MAKING ALFALFA MEAL

Can you please tell me how alfalfa
meal is made?—-—A. Z., Grand Rapids,
Mich.
—The grinding of alialfa into meal
was practiced quite extensively in
Kansas for several years but has been
more or less discontinued and has
moved further west into the irrigat-
ed sections of Colorado and Wyom-
ing. It is quite an expensive pract-
ice costing tram $3.00 to $6.00 a ton
to make the meal, and after the meal
is secured the feeding value is not
materially increased. Stock will
consume practically all the alfalfa
hay without grinding; consequently,
there is littleadvantage‘ in grinding
alfalfa—C. R. Megee, Associate in
Farm Crops, M. A. C. .

VALUE OF GULL BEAN-S as noon  ' 
> FOR CATTLE. ..

Can you tell me -how much food
value cull beans ground ﬁne contain
for dairy cattle? How many'pounds
of grain to every pound of‘ milk?
Which is the best for ensilage, corn-1
fodder or sun ﬂowers?———-M. B, ‘Mar—
ion, Michigan. ‘ ' ‘ ‘

The analysis of cull beans, as is

shown by Henry's Feeds and Feed-v .

ing, is as follows:

Total dry matter in 100 ms. 87.2}!

Digestible nutrients in 100 pounds,

 
   

 
    
     

 

     
    
    
      
   
   
   
   
   
      
  

 
  

 
 

       
             
     
     
       
      

Crude protein 18.3; Carbo Hydrates 

54.3;.Fat 0.8. . ,

This analysis shows that two
pounds of cull beans have about the
same protein composition as one
pound of cottonseed meal.

Your second question is not quite
clear. You ask how many pounds
of grain to every pound of milk. I
am assuming that you mean how
much grain to feed for each pound
of milk produced per day. This var-
ies somewhat with the test of milk.
-With a low testing cow 8. pound of
grain to each three and a half or

four pounds of milk produced per"

day is suﬂicient. For Jerseys or
Guernseys, that have high testing
milk, we feed a pound of grain to
each three or three and a half pounds
of milk produced per day. _
The best ensllage crop we know
of is corn. Corn fodder, as mention-
ed in your inquiry, does not make a.
very satisfactory silage. It isonly
in times when corn is very high in

price that it pays to shuck the corn-

off the stalk and put the stalks into
the silo. I would never advise the
use of sunﬂowers for silage in a sec-

tion or locality where it is possible'

toobtain a good yield of corn, but in
the northern part of the slate,
where corn is a gamble one year with
another, sunflowers will make an ex-
cellent substitute for corn in silage.
O. E. Reed, Professor of Dairy Hus-
bandry, M. A. C.

 

PUTTING PIGS ON SELF-FEEDER
_ I have forty fall pigs—that weigh
about eighty pounds each. I want
to put them on a‘selt—feeder. They
get twenty gallons of skim .milk a
day. What would be the best feed
to put in the self-feeder to make the
best gain? Where one has that much
skim milk, is tankage necessary?—
P.-M., Farwell, Michigan.

~Twenty gallons of skim milk will
not be sufﬁcient to provide enough
protein or growth producing food
for forty pigs weighing eighty
pounds each. I would, therefore,
advise_putting tankage as well as
corn in the self-feeder for them, us-
ing a separate compartment for each.
If barley could be obtained any
cheaper that corn, I would advise
the use of barley—Prof. Geo. A.

Was not satisﬁed so I saw another

the same. If Igwould bring her to
him he would keep her and chlori-
form her and take care of her every

I could not stand it and to have him
come 'to my place would cost me
twenty ddllars a trip, so I. thought
you could give me advise—G. H.,

—_This is a case that in all'lprobabil-
lty will require an operatibn before
a cure can-be ‘ rought about. There
may be a. foreign body at the bottom
of the ﬁstula tract or it' may be a
diseased lymph gland that Will have
to be removed.—~—John P. Hutton,
Assoc. Prof. of Surg. & Med., M. A. C.

REMOVING WAB'I‘S

I have a yearling steer which has
large white warts about the size of
a quarter in clusters on the sides
or his neck and about his back.
Have been on him for some time.
He seems healthy and is in good
shape. Would consider it a great
favor in giving some remedy for it.
—-F. H. B., Cheboygan.

——We do not know the cause of these
Warts. Where there is only a very
few warts present on the surface of
the skin about the best treatment
is to remove them by cutting them
off after the surface of the skin has
been well disinfected. The appli-
cation of a little glacial acetic acid
to the surface of the wart will some—
times cause it to disappear. Where
you have a large number of them
on the body and they'are in clusters
little can be done. Better send the
steer to the butcher as soon as he
can be gotten in good condition to
kill.—John P. Hutton, Assoc. Prof.

‘of Surg. and Med., M. A. C.

 

COW POX

I have a cow which has some kind
of a breaking out on the bag which
are small pimplesywhich scab over.
She is due to freshen in about eight
weeks. Would like to know the
cause and a remedy.-—V. B., Dryden,
Mich. '
—From the history given of the case
I am of the opinion that the trouble
is cow pox. Try washing the udder
after each milking with a 1 per cent
solution of sodium hyposulphite. No
internal treatment is required.—
John P. Hutton, Assoc. Prof. of Surg.
& Med., M. A. C. .

FEED SOW SCOBCHED CORN
What should I do with my Poland—
China sow, as I have her in a large

 

'pen and she doesn’t come in heat nor

hasn’t been in heat for the last six
months. Have raised two litters
with her already. She is two years
old, and I feed her tankage and corn.
Have given her cats at times and also
charcoal——Reader.

—A method that often proves effect—
ive in getting sows to come in season
is to feed them entirely on scorched
corn for a. few days.

If this fails, drugs may be resorted
to. We have used a. preparation
known as Vetol, put out by Lehn &
Fink, 124 Williams Street, New York
City, with very satisfactory results.

If this sow is fat, it would be a

N0 LAW ON DISTANCE HOGS
MUST BE FROM ROAD

I would like to know how far from
the public highway do I have to keep
my hogs that are being ﬂattened in a‘
building? And how far from the
highway must the other ones, brood
sows and such, be it conﬁned? They
are in a small pard 0; less than one
half acre—J. B. B., St. Charles, Mich
--—-"l‘here is no State law ﬁxing the
distance that hogs must be removed
from a public highway. It is simply

a. question of whether of not they

are allowed to become a nuisance.
The matter is under the control and
within the jurisdiction of township

EXPERIENCE
CULTIVATION of land begins with

will be, when and how deep.
VWhen 'to plow will vary according to
the crop and land conditions. Plow-
ing long enough before the crop is
planted to get the Weeds killed on the
surface is a big gain whenever pract-
ical. c

As oats, barley and spring wheat
need sowing very early in the spring,
the only way to plow long before
planting in this state is to fall plow
and while this is ﬁne under some
conditions it is bad under others.
Soils that are heavy and wet or hill-
sides that are bad should not be fall
plowed so they will have to be sowed
as soon as the ground can be ﬁtter
for them and in case of heavy wet
soils don’t plow them too wet as you
will injure the soil if you do.

As to depth, oats will do well on
shallow plowing if a sod has- been
turned down the year before sowing
the oats. When plowing sod for
corn I get best results by going by
the depth that the grass roots go as
soil that is much below where the
grass roots grow is generally poor or
in a poor condition to feed the corn
roots.

Plowing as early as the ground is
ﬁt to work and harrowing smooth to
get the surface Weeds to sprout so
they can be killed give the best re—
sults with corn as this warms the
soil and kills the weeds at one time.

Potato ground needs to be plowed
a little deeper than for corn an can
be worked longer before planting and
harrowed deeper if it needs to be, but
it can be made too loose. In a dry
time the ground should be just loose
enough for the roots to penetrate
easily and yet to press some against
the roots and then air must get into
the ground enough for chemical ac-
tion on the soil, but not enough to
dry it up too much. .

Watch and see what condition the
soil is in when the crops grow the
best and then aim atrkeeping it in
that condition. Cultivate shallow if
the ground is loose and dry and deep-
er if the soil is heavy and wet or
caked. Cultivate ‘with ﬁne teeth
and nearly level in a dry time; use
larger teeth hilling up when the soil
or weather is wet.

Potatoes should.,be hilled enough
to prevent them from sunburning or
freezing .too easy and this -means
more hilling if they set shallow than
when they set deep. "Cultivate beans
.level and smooth.-—-—Francis G. Smith,

VALI’E OF TIMOTHY OR CLOVER
FOR FERTILIZER

I would be pleased to received your
estimation as to what hay (each all
clover & all timothy)
ought to« be worth to be of the same
value to me, to leave in the barn and
leave the new crop on the ground as
fertilizer.——F. H., Scotts, Mich.

—It is rather difﬁcult to arrive at a
satisfactory estimate of the value of
timothy and clover hay for fertilizer
purposes. The feeding value is us-
ually much greater than the fertiliz—

T'ing values especially when we con-

sider the fact that when the hay is
fed and the manure well taken care
of from ﬁfty to sixty-ﬁve percent of
the nitrogen, sixty to eighty percent
of the phosphorus and sixty to eighty
percent of the potash of the original
feed may be returned to the land in
the manure. Of the organic matter
from twenty to thirty-ﬁve percent is
returned. Consequently,
er proﬁt is usually secured by feed-
ing the hay and carefully— returning
the manure to the land. ‘

Also, the value of hay as a fertiliz-
er depends greatly upon the need of
that particular soil for organic mat-

——Cherokee clover is an early matur-

an annual legume with large bean-

somewhat like sweet clover. There
are approximately twenty—six var—
ieties of beggarweed, only two of
which are of value commercially;
namely the Florida beggarweed and
the Cherokee. The Cherokee is the
earlier variety and probably the best
adapted to northern conditions. ,
Beggarweed has become quite pop-
ular in the sButh where it is used for
hay, pasture and green manuring-
purposes. Some authorities claim
that it does quite well on acid soils.
It has not been tried very extensive.
ly in Michigan and should you care
to try it would suggest that you do
so in a small way. Soybeans, on the ‘
other hand, have been tried quite ex—
tensively and for the southern half of”«

quite satisfactory for hay and green
manuring purposes—Prof. C. R.

. ANNOUNCEMENT

It is with the greatest regrets that we announce the dispersion of our entire

ampshire herd. ,

In our short Hampshire career we have collected some of the ﬁnest breed-
ing material that could be found in Ohio, Illinois and Iowa. From the very
ﬁrst it has been our aimto develop one of the best herds of Hampshires. We
have always endeavored to keep in mind, the true Hampshire type and all our
One of the important additions to
our herd, is the recent purchase of the great boar “Intruder” from C. G.
Bitzer and Son at Washington C. H., Ohio, a bear that has one of the greatest
show records of the breed. A large percentage of sows and gilts in this sale
are,bred to him.

We realize that this is the wrong time of the year to dispose of our high
class boars, still there is no other course open to us, our loss will be the gain
“or the Hampshire breeders who attend this sale.

In addition to breeding Hampshires, we have some of the world’s ﬁnest
breeding stock in Poland China’s, Duroc Jersey's and Chester \Vhite’s. The
extra labor and expense involved in maintaining four separate breeds is prov-
ing to be too much to carry on the business proﬁtably and rather than let any
one breed suffer from lack of attention, we are dispersing our most recent
addition, namely the Hampshire Breed. We do not wish anyone to infer
from this that We think the Hampshire are inferior to any of the other
breeds. Even to this day it hurts to sell out all our Hampshire sows and
boars that we have become very much attached to. Since we have a larger
and more established herd in these other breeds, our loss would be far great—
er should We dispose of any of the other breeds at one sale.

We want every one who possibly can to be present, it it is impossible to
honor as with your presence, we would appreciate your mail bid. Any co-
operation you can give us will be greatly appreciated.

KEEP UP THE GREEN noon
' HE eonstant supply of succulent
green food must be maintained

duction throughout the summer, and
the best growth from the young
stock. Hens that have range OVer
the farm do not, necessarily secure
the right kind of green food. In
fact, it has been demonstrated that
hens do not eat readily of,grass or
other range green food later in the

much of its succulence.

The commercial poultry‘men have
long since learned that. it is just as
important to supply green food in
succulent form during the summer
months as it is during cold weather
and they continue to feed sprouted
oats. Several 'articles have been
published in these columns in recent

sprouting on large and small scale.
For the small .ﬂock raiser the best
method is to use oat sprouters such
as are to be obtained on~the market.
For large commercial flock use, other
methods may be used.

Lettuce from the‘garden, especial-
ly where a succession is planted, can
well be used. Lawn clippings, es-
pecially clover, are valuable during
the summer. Cabbage is not ordin-
arily to be recommended, although
there is no harm in it if not fed to ex-
cess. .

An abundance of green food is es-
pecially valuable for the growing
chicks. Too often it is overlooked"
and the beneﬁcial effects lost. It
tends to supply deﬁcient elements will
the ordinary ration which, at this
season, contains an excess of animal
proteins, and it tends also to act as a
digestive corrective and puriﬁer.

Green food, on the other hand, is
not recommended ‘ for use where
fowls are to be fattened for market.
Most commercial feeders contend
that fowls do not put on weight as
readin when green food is given.

 

CURING HENS OF EATING EGGS

We have been troubled with our
hens eating eggs. Have you any
remedy for this?—J. H., Clare, Mich.
——The egg eating habit is more pre—
valent where hens are in heavy pro-
duction and are receiving limited
quantities of mineral matter such as
is supplied in oyster shell. Close
conﬁnement and insufﬁcient straw in
the nests also help the spread of this
undesirable habit. Poor quality of
shell causes the heavy breakage that
occurs during production. The eggs
are naturally extremely palatable
and are greatly relished by the hens.
This trouble however, may be contin-
ued to such a degree that the hens
will actually break the shell in order
to get at the contents of the egg.
There is no very satisfactory rem—
edy other than eliminating the ring
leaders, darkening the nests and
placing plenty of straw in the nests
to reduce the breakage as much as
possible, and encourage the hens to
exercise which keeps them in better
physical condition. Oyster shells
should be available in liberal quanti-
ties which contains mineral matter
necessary in shell production. Some
people practice doping the eggs with
some condiment such as mustard,
pepper, etc. to make them unpalat-
able—E. C. Foreman, Associate
Professor of Poultry Husbandry, M.
A. C.

 

POND NOT NECESSARY
Will you please tell me thru the
column of your paper if a swimming
hole is necessary to geese to insure
fertility to their exalt—M. J., Turn-
er, Mich.

—-It is not absolutely necessary to
have a pond available for swimming
purposes in order to maintain or to
secure good fertility and hatchabmty
of geese ates. However, if such a
pond is available, the breeding pen
should be located near by because of
the beneﬁcial results in the increase
of fertility and hatchability of the
eggs. If-a pond is not available;
eggs can be produced that are of...
good fertility although this is loss

 

if you expect the best egg pro-.

summer months when it has lost.

HE average p0u1try raiser at-
taches little or no value to the
manure produced by his ﬂock.

Its gradual accumulation beneath
the perches of his fowls receives
only occasional ’attention, in many
instances, and even when cleaned out
more frequently is thrown aw‘ay.
When its removal becomes necessary

he considers il. one of the unavoid-

able and unpleasant evils .that go
with the business.

But poultry manure has a Very
real value, and may become a proﬁt«
able by-product of the plant. It has
been determined by the Maine Ex-
periment Station, working ,in co-op-
oration with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture; that the
average night droppings of the med-
ium breeds amounts to 30 pounds a
year for one fowl. V On this basis 100
fowls would produce 3,000 pounds,
or one and one-half tons. The an-
alyses of this manure show it to be
especially high in two of the three
fertilizing elements. If
the plant food contained in a ton of
average fresh poultry manure were
bought at the price paid, usually, for
it in “the form of commercial fertiliz-
ers, the outlay would be about $10.

Taking into account the fact that
the quantity of manure produced in
the daytime is at least equal to that
produced at night, the specialists ﬁnd
that one average hen produces about
60 pounds of manure in a year. How-
ever, only the night droppings are
available for use, as the day drop—
pings are Widely scattered over the
yards and ranges. The night drop—
pings from 1,000 hens would be
worth about "$150 a year. As hen
manure, as it usually is cared for,
contains only about one-half its 01'-
iginal value, the loss thru this form
of neglect must be very largo for the
entire country.

If immediate use is resorted to,
the manure should be applied some-
what sparingly. It is from two to
three times richer in nitrogen and
three to eight times richer in phos-
phoric acid than the ordinary farm
manures. This, of course, is due to
the kinds of feeds used, and also to
the fact that the liquid and solid
matter are together.

It can be handled most satisfac-
torily if mixed with loam to remove
stickiness in the summer. In the
Winter it should be mixed with a fair
proportion of loam, sawdust,‘or coal
ashes, sifted dried earth, land plaster
or gypsum. Wood ashes and lime
should never be used, as they set
which must be
avoided. - '

Keep it in a Dry Place

To put the manure on the ground
in the Winter should mean to lose
one-half or more of its value. The
better plan is to store it in barrels
or boxes until time to use on a grow-
ing crop. When stored this way the
container should have several large
holes bored in it to aimit air. Some
plants having several thousand fowls
have large bins of concrete for saving
this manure. Untreated, a large
part of the nitrogen escapes into the
air as ammonia escapes.

The Maine Experiment Station
recommends using with every 30
pounds of poultry manure 10 pounds
of sawdust, 16 pounds of acid phos—
phate and the kainit. The acid phos—
phate and the kainit prevent the loss
of nitrogen, and the sawdust absorbs
the excess moisture. If sawdust is
not obtainable. dried earth in about
the same proportion may be substi-
tuted. After being treated in this
way the manure should be put in' a
sheltered place until used. If the
materials are kept handy the busi-
ness of mixing soon becomes a rout-
ine task.

How to Prevent White Diarrhea

Dear Sir: Last Spring my ﬁrst in-
cubator chicks when but a few days
old began to die by the dozens with
White Diarrhea. I tried different
remedies and was about discouraged.
Finally, I sent 600 to the" Walker
Remedy‘ 00., Dept. 683,, Waterloo, Ia.
for a box of their Walko White Dia-
rrhea Remedy. It’s just the only
thing for this terrible disease. We .
never lost a single chick after the
ﬁrst dose. We raised 700 thrifty,
healthy chicks, where before we nev-
er raised moro than 100 a year. I’d
be glad indeed to have others know
of this Wonderful remedy. Ethel

us.as many goods in 1923 as last year but much of an increase would be sur- .
prising. These factors, combined, point to a diminution of export demand in
1923. At least 11: will be conservative for farmers to lay their plans on the
basis of a strong possibility that foreign demand for cotton, wheat and pork will
be_less than last year. This need not be true if improvement in European con-
ditions Increases production abroad and brings a return of conﬁdence among
American investors. ' I

Cotton wrll start the new crop year with practically no" carryover. With
the price of cotton around thirty cents per pound the incentive will be strong
to plant a large acreage. Also with the price high, fertilizers and poisons will
be applied more generously. The weather and boll weevil may restrict output
In spite of the factors tending to increase it. A crop of 12 million bales the
average for 1916-1920, would probably not prove excessive even with lbwer
exports.

the agricultural situation.

Europe can be expected to continue to give preference to our cheaper grains.
With wheat prices unsatisfactory, winter wheat acreage was cut three per cenl
and it is anticipated that the spring wheat area may be reduced.

From reports of the United States Department of Agriculture, we may con-
clude that the number of hogs raised for market in 1923 will be about 15 per
cent larger than last year. Pork and lard exports are now making up about 15
per cent of production compared with an average around 11 per cent before
the war. Exports in 1922 show a slight decline from previous year. With an
indication of a large supply of pork products in 1923, larger exports than last
year would seem necessary to sustain the market.

FOOTE'S MARKET LETTER '
By W. W. Foote

HE cost of living is increasing
and is much higher than a year

~ ago, and farmers are complain-
ing of their great increase in taxes
above pre-war years, while their
farm proﬁts have been far lower. A
matter of interest to dairy farmers is
the recent arrival in New York of a

. cargo of 5,320,000 pounds of butter

from New Zealand, and the arrival
the same day of 2,500,000 pounds of
poultry in the same city from Cali-
fornia, both by way of the Panama
Canal. It was stated at the same
time that a ﬂeet of butter carrying
ships was on the sea carrying nearly
10,000,000 pounds of New Zealand
butter destined for consumption in
this country, and predictions were
made that it would force prices for
domestic butter lower. According
to an agreement between the Chicago
milk‘distributors and the milk pro-
ducers association, composed of
dairy farmers in Illinois, Wisconsin
and Indiana, the wholesale price fell
ten cents per hundredweight a few
days ago, the new rate to be in force
until the ﬁrst of May. The new
price of milk for twelve gallons of

Grain on Farms

Reserves of grains on farms in the
United States on March 1 aggregated
1,706,000 bushels of wheat, corn,
oats, rye and barley, as given by the
government report, being 187,000,-
000 bushels less than last year and
822,000,000 bushels under two years
ago. It is estimated that reserves
are ample for domestic and normal
export requirements until the next
crops. An increased percentage of
the wheat crop was moved from the
farms this season, this amounting to
67.1 per cent, comparing with 61.7
per cent last year and a ten years
average of 57.7 per cent. One—third
of the wheat reserves are held in the
four northwestern state~. amounting
to 51,706,000 bushels, of 24,700,000
bushels more than last year. Corn
supplies on the farms of 1,087,000,-
000 bushels were 210,000,000 bush-
els less than last year and 477,000,-
000 bushels less than two years ago.
A heavy consumption of oats is
shown by reserves of 421,514,000
bushels.

Prices for wheat hold up remark-
ably, although sales are made far be-
low the prices paid one and two years
ago. Sales are made of May de-
livery wheat in the Chicago market
around $1.20, comparing with $1.37
a year ago. May corn sells at 74 1-2
cents, comparing with 62 1—2 cents
a year ago; May oats at 45 cents
comparing with 39 1-2 cents last
year; and May rye at 83 3-4 cents,
comparing with $1.06 1-2 a year ago.

Cattle in Moderate demand

The only way that will keep prices

for cattle from declining is for stock-

. men to market their holdings moder-

ately, avoiding large shipments at
one time. Many more cattle are re-
ported as feeding in the corn belt
than a year ago, and because of the
comparative cheapness of hog pro-
ducts, they are largely substituted
for beef. The present tendency of
cattle prices is to narrow, very few
prime beeves being needed to meet
the demand, and late sales of beef
steers offered on the Chicago market
were largely at a range of $7.75 to

$9.50, with the best lots at $9.50 to.

$10, a few head of 1135-pound long
yearlings fetching $10.40. Steers

$4.50 to $6.50,,pr‘ime heifers going
at $8 to $8.75. A year ago the best
steers sold at $9.40 and eight years
ago at $8.75.
Excessive Hog Supplies

Stockmen owning hogs and cattle
are marketing rapidly, being opposed
to a long feed, and hog receipts are
especially large, causing frequent-de-
clines in prices. Eastern shippers

are purchasing a much smaller pro--

portion of the swine offered on the
Chicago market than several weeks
ago, and lack of competition between
buyers has favored the decline in
prices. Comparisons with prices
pair a year ago show a big decline,
the top at that time having been
$11.50, the high point for 1922, but
last November the best hogs sold
down to $7.85. There has been a
marked in< ease in the marketing of
pigs and underweights, and the
spread in prices has narrowsl mater-
ially, the bulk of the hogs selling
within a range of 35 cents. Prime
light bacon hogs still top t‘ « market,
selling 25 cents above the best
heavy butchers. Recent Chicago re-
ceipts of hogs averaged 229 pounds.
The principal bullish factor in the
hog trade is the extremely large
consumption of lard and fresh and
cured meatsat home and abroad, ex-
ports continuing much heavier than
a year ago. During last, week Chi-
cago received 215,650 hogs, com-
paring with 194,865 a week earlier
and 150,798 a year ago. And yet
the good demand put prices higher,
closing sales being made at $7.25 to
$$8.65, comparing with $6.90 to
$8.45 a week earlier and $9.50 to
$11.30 n year ago. ,
Early Spring Lamb Supply

The early spring lamb supply
available for the markets of the
country promises to be materially
larger an to start to market earlier
than last year, according to the Bur-
eau of Agricultural Economics. This
applies to lambs which go to market
before the ﬁrst of June. California
lambs are expected to arrive in the
markets in large volume in April,

' while marketing from the southwest

will not be well under way until May.
Marketings from Tennessee and Ken-
tucky for April and May promise to
be larger than last year and, about
the same as in 1921. Last fall the
number of breeding ewes in those
two states was estimated as 7 per
cent larger than a year earlier, and
earlier breeding than usual was the
rule. Lambs from Virginia will
move later than the Tennessee and
Kentucky ﬂocks. Such states as
Iowa, Illinois, and southern Ohio be-
gin marketing lambs in June. These
lambs are dropped mostly in Febru~
ary and March. Ewes generally
wintered well, and are in good con-
dition all over the Corn belt, feed be—
ing plentiful. Shed lambs dropped
in February and March in Idaho be-
gin to go to market in June. Wooled
lambs are selling in Chicago at
$12.75 to $15.25; The University of
Wisconsin had a car load of superior
fed western lambs that averaged 87
pounds on the Chicago market rec-
ently that sold at $15.25, the top
price. Sheep are making much more
money on the Wisconsin farms than
either cattle or hogs, both lambs and
wool selling extremely high. Shrop-
shires lead other breeds, but Cheviots
are becoming more popular in parts
of Wisconsin.

WHEAT , -

Prices in the‘wheat market fluct-
uated considerably during the past
two weeks. The forepart of this
period the trend wasdownward and
during the last week prices have ad-
vanced until at Detroit they closed

ing price on the same market two
weeks previous. During the entire
time the news circulated about the
market was very bearish, but it ap-
pears that bearish news has been
used so long to bear the market that
it is losing inﬂuence on prices. The
wheat outlook, as far as present
wheat is concerned, could not be
much more bearish, but that has
been the case for a long time and no
attention is paid ,to it. Strength is
coming from the new crop outlook,
which is far from favorable. The
southwest needs rain and any pre-
cipitation in recent days has not been
over the dry districts. This is the
most important point in the grain sit-
uation and will be for some weeks or
until spring weather has deﬁnitely
developed the strength of the plant.

Foreign news is more favorable to
the constructive side of wheat, but
export buying has not yet given much
evidence of returning life. Some
bullish dealers believe they see an
early end of the Ruhr trouble. , The
invasion of Germany by France is
held as the reason why Europe is
not buying American wheat and it is
believed the buying would be resum-
ed should the French settle up and
go home. Foreigners took about
half a million‘ bushels of durum
Wheat last week, buying it at Min—
neapolis.’ James A. Patten says: “I
believe‘that the Whole question of a
continued movement back to general
prosperity rests upon a return to the
former relation between the price of
farm products and such commodities
as the farmers need to buy. I re-
gard corn as the keystone of the agri-
cultural arch and fortunately every
condition appears present for a price
range for the rest of the year that
will do much toward restoring the
farmer to'his position of the greatest
element of purchasing power in our
population.”

CORN

Corn showed more strength on the
closing day of last week than proba-
bly at any time during the past two
weeks and considerable grain chang-
ed hands as demand was active and
selling of good volume. Bearish
news has dominated the market re-
cently but a bullish statement was
given out that offsets the bearish in-
ﬂuence. Mr. James A. Patten, in
discussing the domestic needs after
March 1 to the new crop, stated that
our present corn reserve of 1,089,—
000,000 bushels is short by 119,000,-
000 bushels of our actual consump-
tion during the last two years. Re-
ceipts are smaller than expected.
